CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 388

Which of the following is a valid and cost-effective solution to connect a fiber cable into a network switch without available SFP ports?

Answer options

• A. Use a media converter and a UTP cable
• B. Install an additional transceiver module and use GBICs
• C. Change the type of connector from SC to F-type
• D. Use a loopback adapter to make the connection

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Using a media converter along with a UTP cable is the correct approach since it allows for a seamless connection of fiber to a switch without SFP ports. The other options either do not address the lack of SFP ports (B) or are not suitable for making a direct network connection (C and D).
