CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 545
A technician needs to change an incoming fiber line into an RJ45 copper connection for uplinking a new switch. Which of the following would BEST satisfy this requirement?
Answer options
- A. Media converter
- B. F-type connector
- C. Small form-factor pluggable
- D. Punchdown block
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is A, as a media converter is specifically designed to convert signals between different media types, such as fiber to copper. The other options, like the F-type connector and punchdown block, do not serve this conversion purpose, while a small form-factor pluggable is typically used for modular connections rather than direct line conversions.
