CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1001) — Question 377

A technician discovered a spare cable at a user's desk. The ends of the cable terminate in a plastic connector with four pins, only two of which contain conductors.
Which of the following connector types did the technician find?

Answer options

• A. RG-6
• B. RJ11
• C. RJ45
• D. RG-59

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is RJ11, which is commonly used for telephone connections and has four pins with only two used for the connection. RG-6 and RG-59 are coaxial cable types and do not use this type of connector, while RJ45 has eight pins and is used for Ethernet connections.
