correct
Explanation
Correct Answer: D. Fiber to Ethernet
- Fiber to Ethernet Media Converter:
- This type of media converter connects fiber optic cables (in this case, multimode) to Ethernet cables (e.g., Cat 5e).
- In the scenario, the requirement is to connect a multimode fiber cable to an existing Cat 5e Ethernet infrastructure, so a fiber to Ethernet media converter is the appropriate choice.
Why the other options are incorrect:
-
Multi-mode to single-mode:
- This is used to connect multimode fiber to single-mode fiber. It is not applicable here because the goal is to connect fiber (multimode) to Ethernet (Cat 5e), not to another type of fiber.
-
Ethernet to coaxial:
- This type of media converter connects Ethernet (e.g., Cat 5e) to coaxial cables (e.g., for legacy systems like cable modems). It does not involve fiber optics, making it irrelevant to this scenario.
-
Fiber to coaxial:
- This is used to connect fiber optic cables to coaxial cables, typically for specific applications like extending cable TV networks or older coaxial infrastructures. Since the requirement involves Ethernet (Cat 5e), this option does not apply.
