A network administrator is tasked with specifying cabling and connector types for a new Ethernet network installation in an office. To provide connectivity for computers and devices, which connector should be used for terminating the Cat6 ethernet cables?
The correct answer is 'RJ45' because RJ45 connectors are widely used for terminating Ethernet cables, supporting network speeds over Ethernet up to 10 gigabits. It is compatible with Cat6 cables, which are commonly deployed in office environments for high-speed data transmission. The 'RJ11' connector is primarily used for telephone wiring and supports fewer pins than RJ45, making it unsuitable for terminating Ethernet cables. 'F-type' connectors are mainly used with coaxial cables in television and internet services.
