You are wiring a small office with a daisy-chain topology. The diagram shows three switches connected in a line: SW1 connects to SW2, and SW2 connects to SW3. You have a 10-meter cable and a 2-meter cable. Which cable should you use for the SW1-to-SW2 link if the distance is 3 meters?

Either cable, because distance does not matter

A network diagram shows a router's GigabitEthernet0/0 interface connected to a switch's GigabitEthernet0/24 interface. Which type of cable should be used to connect these two devices?

A straight-through Ethernet cable

A fiber optic cable with SC connectors

A technician is wiring a small office LAN from a diagram. The diagram shows a switch port labeled 'GigabitEthernet0/1' connected to a router port labeled 'GigabitEthernet0/0'. The router also has a port labeled 'GigabitEthernet0/0/0'. Which cable and port combination should the technician use?

Cat6 straight-through patch cable from switch port Gi0/1 to router port Gi0/0

Fiber patch cable from switch port Gi0/1 to router port Gi0/0

Cat6 crossover cable from switch port Gi0/1 to router port Gi0/0/0

Cat5e crossover cable from switch port Gi0/1 to router port Gi0/0
