Patch cable
Answers

Patch cable
D.
Rollover
Answers
D.
Rollover
Suggested answer: B

Explanation:

Since neither of the switches supports MDIX, the systems administrator should use aCrossover cableto connect the two network switches via copper cabling. Here's why:

Straight cable(Option A) is used to connect different types of devices (e.g., switch to computer) and not switches to switches.

Crossover cable(Option B) is specifically designed for connecting similar devices (e.g., switch to switch, switch to hub) without MDIX support.

Patch cable(Option C) is a general term for Ethernet cables and doesn't specify whether it's straight or crossover.

Rollover cable(Option D) is used for console connections to network devices (e.g., connecting to a router or switch console port).

Therefore, the correct answer isB. Crossover
