DRAG DROP
Examine the connections shown in the following image. Move the cable types on the right to the appropriate connection description on the left. You may
use each cable type more than once or not at all.
Solution:
Based on the image description provided, here are the cable types matched with the appropriate connection descriptions:
Connects Switch S1 to Router R1 Gi0/0/1 interfaceCable Type: = Straight-through UTP Cable
Connects Router R2 Gi0/0/0 to Router R3 Gi0/0/0 via underground conduitCable Type
: = Fiber Optic Cable
Connects Router R1 Gi0/0/0 to Router R2 Gi0/0/1Cable Type: = Crossover UTP Cable
Connects Switch S3 to Server0 network interface cardCable Type: = Straight-through UTP Cable
The choices are based on standard networking practices where:
✑ Straight-through UTP cablesare typically used to connect a switch to a router or a network interface card.
✑ Fiber optic cablesare ideal for long-distance, high-speed data transmission, such as connections through an underground conduit.
✑ Crossover UTP cablesare used to connect similar devices, such as router-to-router connections.
These matches are consistent with the color-coded cables in the image: green for switch connections, yellow for router-to-router connections within the same rack, and blue for inter-rack connections. The use of these cables follows the Ethernet cabling standards.
✑ Connects Switch S1 to Router R1 Gi0/0/1 interface:
✑ Connects Router R2 Gi0/0/0 to Router R3 Gi0/0/0 via underground conduit:
✑ Connects Router R1 Gi0/0/0 to Router R2 Gi0/0/1:
✑ Connects Switch S3 to Server0 network interface card:
✑ Straight-through UTP Cable: Used to connect different devices (e.g., switch to router, switch to server).
✑ Crossover UTP Cable: Used to connect similar devices directly (e.g., router to
router, switch to switch).
✑ Fiber Optic Cable: Used for long-distance and high-speed connections, often between buildings or data centers.

Does this meet the goal?
Correct Answer:A
You need to connect a computer's network adapter to a switch using a 1000BASE-T cable. Which connector should you use?
Correct Answer:D
•1000BASE-T Cable: This refers to Gigabit Ethernet over twisted-pair cables (Cat 5e or higher).
•Connector: RJ-45 connectors are used for Ethernet cables, including those used for 1000BASE-T.
•Coax: Used for cable TV and older Ethernet standards like 10BASE2.
•RJ-11: Used for telephone connections.
•OS2 LC: Used for fiber optic connections. References:
