I’m pretty confident it’s RJ-45. I practiced a question like this in my study group, and it was the same answer.

I’m a bit confused. I know RJ-45 is common, but what about the other options? I can’t recall if OS2 LC is relevant here.

I feel like I’ve seen a similar question before, and it was definitely RJ-45 for connecting to switches. Coax and RJ-11 seem wrong for this.

I think the answer might be RJ-45, but I’m not completely sure. I remember something about it being used for Ethernet connections.
