CompTIA Network+ (N10-007) — Question 482

A new DSL circuit was installed to replace the cable service and is not functioning. A network administrator needs to create a cable to connect the circuit. Which of the following connector types should the network administrator use on the cable?

Answer options

• A. RJ11
• B. RJ45
• C. DB-25
• D. BNC

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is RJ11, as it is the standard connector used for telephone lines and DSL connections. RJ45 is typically used for Ethernet cables, while DB-25 is an older connector for parallel ports and BNC is used for coaxial cables, making them unsuitable for DSL connections.
