A network technician crimped a length of IJTP with TIA\ElA-568A on one end and TINE-IA-5688 on the other. Which of the following cable types did the technician create?
Correct Answer: A
Explanation
The cable type that the technician created is a crossover cable. A crossover cable is a type of twisted-pair cable that has the transmit and receive pairs reversed on one end. A crossover cable is used to connect two devices of the same type, such as two switches or two computers, without using a hub or a switch. A crossover cable can be made by crimping one end of the cable with TIA/EIA-568A standard and the other end with TIA/EIA-568B standard, or vice versa. These standards define the color coding and pin assignments for RJ-45 connectors on twisted-pair cables. References: CompTIA Network+ N10-008 Certification Study Guide, page
