CompTIA Network+ (N10-007) — Question 284

A technician needs to connect several computers in close proximity to control manufacturing equipment in a factory. The medium to connect the computers must be cost effective and suitable for short distances. Which of the following mediums should the technician use?

Answer options

• A. RJ11 connector and Cat6 cable
• B. ST connector and UTP cable
• C. DB-9 connector and plenum cable
• D. BNC connector and RG-59 cable

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct choice is D, as BNC connectors and RG-59 cables are designed for coaxial connections and are effective for short distances, often used in video and data transmission. The other options involve connectors and cables that are either not suitable for the required distance or are not cost-effective for the application in a factory setting.
