CompTIA Network+ (N10-009) — Question 498

A network technician is requesting a fiber patch cord with a connector that is round and twists to install. Which of the following is the proper name of this connector type?

Answer options

• A. ST
• B. BNC
• C. SC
• D. LC

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The proper name for the connector described is ST, which is known for its round shape and twist-on installation method. The other options, BNC, SC, and LC, do not have a twisting mechanism; BNC is typically used for coaxial cables, SC is a push-pull connector, and LC is a smaller form factor connector.
