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.
