Which of the following defines the pinout of an 8P8C eight pin modular jack for a CAT6a cable?

The correct answer is A. 568B. TIA/EIA-568B (commonly called 568B) is the wiring standard that defines the pin assignment (pinout) for 8P8C modular connectors used with Ethernet cables like CAT6a. It specifies which wire color goes to which of the eight pins. RJ-45 is the informal name for the physical 8P8C…

Explanation

TIA/EIA-568B (commonly called 568B) is the wiring standard that defines the pin assignment (pinout) for 8P8C modular connectors used with Ethernet cables like CAT6a. It specifies which wire color goes to which of the eight pins. RJ-45 is the informal name for the physical 8P8C connector shape itself - not a pinout standard. RJ-11 is a smaller 6-position connector used for telephone lines. RS-232 is a serial communication standard unrelated to Ethernet cabling.
