Dell EMC Associate – Midrange Storage — Question 26

Which component translates data, signaling, and protocols to facilitate the data flow between the end device and the network?

Answer options

• A. Switch
• B. Transceiver
• C. NIC
• D. Port

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The Transceiver is responsible for translating data, signaling, and protocols, allowing seamless communication between the end device and the network. The Switch primarily directs data packets within the network, the NIC (Network Interface Card) connects the device to the network, and the Port serves as a physical access point but does not perform translation functions.
