N10-005 · Question #338

Which of the following is a fiber connector that is slightly smaller than a standard copper network cable connector?

The correct answer is C. MT-RJ. The MT-RJ (Mechanical Transfer Registered Jack) is a compact fiber optic connector that is roughly the same size as a standard RJ-45 copper connector.

Why each option

The MT-RJ (Mechanical Transfer Registered Jack) is a compact fiber optic connector that is roughly the same size as a standard RJ-45 copper connector.

ABNC

The BNC connector is a coaxial cable connector used with older 10BASE-2 Ethernet and video equipment, not a fiber optic connector.

BGBIC

A GBIC (Gigabit Interface Converter) is a transceiver module that plugs into a switch or router, not a cable connector.

CMT-RJCorrect

The MT-RJ connector is a small form-factor fiber optic connector designed to be approximately the same size as a standard copper RJ-45 plug, making it notably smaller than traditional fiber connectors like SC or ST. It supports duplex fiber in a single compact housing, which is why it is described as slightly smaller than a standard copper network cable connector.

DSC

The SC (Subscriber Connector) is a standard-sized fiber optic connector that is larger than an RJ-45, not smaller.
