CompTIA Server+ (SK0-005) — Question 59

A server administrator is installing a new server that uses 40Gb network connectivity. The administrator needs to find the proper cables to connect the server to the switch. Which of the following connectors should the administrator use?

Answer options

• A. SFP+
• B. GBIC
• C. SFP
• D. QSFP+

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The QSFP+ connector is designed to support 40Gb connections, making it the correct choice for connecting the server to the switch. SFP, SFP+, and GBIC connectors do not support the required bandwidth for 40Gb connectivity, thus making them unsuitable for this scenario.
