A network technician is tasked with connecting a legacy fax machine in an office to the network. The fax machine uses an older connection interface. Which type of cable should the technician use to connect this device?
RJ11 cables are commonly used for telephone connections, including devices like fax machines that connect to a standard telephone line. RJ45 is the standard connector for Ethernet networks and is physically larger than RJ11. RJ48 connectors are typically used for specialized data lines like T1 and are not for analog fax machines. Coaxial cables are generally used for television and broadband internet connections, not for telephone-based devices.
