CompTIA Network+ (N10-007) — Question 23
A network technician is installing a new network switch in the MDF. The technician is using fiber to connect the switch back to the core. Which of the following transceiver types should the technician use?
Answer options
- A. MT-RJ
- B. BNC
- C. GBIC
- D. F-type
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is C, GBIC, as it is designed for use with fiber optic connections, making it suitable for linking switches in a network. Options A (MT-RJ) and B (BNC) are not typically used for fiber connections, and D (F-type) is primarily used for coaxial cables, making them unsuitable for this scenario.
