Difficulty: EasyNetwork and Peripheral Cables and Connectors

Match each physical connector or cable type on the left with its primary application or characteristic on the right.

  • RJ45 Connector8-position 8-contact (8P8C) plug used for twisted-pair Ethernet network connections.
  • USB Type-CReversible 24-pin connector supporting high-speed data transfer, power delivery, and video output.
  • DB9 ConnectorLegacy 9-pin D-subminiature connector primarily used for serial communication and console configuration.
  • RG-6 Coaxial CableThick shielded cable commonly used for cable television and broadband internet connections.

Answer

RJ45 Connector matches the 8P8C Ethernet plug description; USB Type-C matches the reversible multi-function connector description; DB9 Connector matches the legacy 9-pin serial/console connector description; RG-6 Coaxial Cable matches the thick shielded cable for cable TV and modems.
Each connector corresponds to its standard hardware specification: RJ45 is 8P8C for Ethernet cables, USB Type-C is reversible and multi-protocol, DB9 is a 9-pin serial connector, and RG-6 is coaxial cabling for cable broadband.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the primary Ethernet networking connector.
RJ45 is an 8P8C connector used on twisted-pair cables like Cat 5e/6.
Ethernet cabling standard dictates RJ45 physical connectors.
2
Identify the universal peripheral connector with reversible orientation.
USB Type-C is the 24-pin reversible connector that handles data, display, and power.
USB Type-C physical standard provides high pin density for multiple protocols.
3
Identify the serial interface connector used for hardware management.
DB9 is a 9-pin D-sub connector used for serial communication (RS-232).
DB9 connectors are legacy serial ports used for management/console access.
4
Identify the coaxial cabling used for cable internet and TV.
RG-6 is the standard coaxial cable for high-frequency video and cable broadband.
RG-6 has a thicker core wire and heavier shielding than RG-59.
