- D
BNC
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
RP-TNC connectors are specifically designed for wireless applications and are widely used to connect external antennas to access points in enterprise environments. They ensure secure and reliable RF signal transmission, making them the appropriate choice for this scenario.
- A. Correct.
RP-TNC connectors are commonly used for connecting external antennas to wireless access points. They are designed for reliable RF signal transmission and are widely supported by enterprise wireless equipment.
- B. Incorrect.
RJ-45 connectors are used for Ethernet connections, not for connecting antennas to access points.
- C. Incorrect.
LC connectors are used for fiber optic connections, not for RF signal transmission in wireless networks.
- D. Incorrect.
BNC connectors are used in coaxial cable connections, typically in video or RF applications, but they are not commonly used in modern enterprise wireless antenna setups.
