CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 9

Which of the following is required when connecting an endpoint device with an RJ45 port to a network device with an ST port?

Answer options

• A. A media converter
• B. A bridge
• C. An MDIX
• D. A load balancer

Correct answer: A

Explanation

A media converter is needed to bridge the different types of connections between the RJ45 and ST ports, as they use different signaling methods. The other options, such as a bridge, MDIX, and load balancer, do not address the specific requirement of converting the media type for the connection.
