An IT technician is tasked with connecting a newly installed switch to a network. The switch requires gigabit connectivity and must be connected with single-mode fiber. Which type of transceiver should the technician install on the switch to meet these requirements?
The correct answer is the Single-Mode SFP because it is designed for use with single-mode fiber, which allows for longer distance data transmission and is suitable for gigabit connectivity. The Multi-Mode SFP is incorrect because it is used with multi-mode fiber, which typically supports shorter distances compared to single-mode. The QSFP is not suitable in this scenario as it is used for significantly higher speeds and different connectivity options. RJ45 transceivers use copper cables and do not support fiber optic connections.
