A field technician is deploying various legacy and modern peripherals and network connections across an office facility. Which connector and cable type on the right correctly matches each hardware deployment requirement on the left?
- Connecting a cable modem to an incoming cable television wall outlet for broadband internet accessRG-6 coaxial cable with threaded F-type connector
- Connecting a legacy serial communications device or router console port using a 9-pin D-subminiature interfaceDB-9 serial cable
- Connecting a mobile iOS device to a USB host port for charging and data transfer using a proprietary 8-pin reversible plugLightning cable
- Connecting a USB 3.0 external hard drive using a widened, dual-section connector on the peripheral endUSB 3.0 Micro-B cable
Answer
Cable modem deployment matches RG-6 coaxial with F-type connector; 9-pin serial device matches DB-9 cable; iOS mobile charging/data matches Lightning cable; USB 3.0 external hard drive matches USB 3.0 Micro-B cable.
Matching each requirement relies on recognizing the physical connector shape and primary use-case: RG-6 with F-type is used for broadband cable modems, DB-9 is a 9-pin serial connector, Lightning is an 8-pin reversible Apple connector, and USB 3.0 Micro-B is a widened dual-block connector for high-speed portable storage.
