Explanation

When a network administrator installs a new Network Interface Card (NIC) and users are unable to reach the server, one of the common issues is the use of an incorrect cable type. Network cables must match the specifications required by the NIC and the network infrastructure (e.g., Cat5e, Cat6 for Ethernet). NIC Compatibility: The new NIC might require a specific type of cable to function properly. Using a cable not rated for the NIC's required speeds or capabilities can result in connectivity issues. Cable Standards: Different NICs and network devices might need different cabling standards (straight-through vs. crossover cables, or specific fiber optic types). Connection Types: Ensuring that the cable connectors are appropriate for the NIC ports (e.g., RJ45 for Ethernet, LC connectors for fiber optics).
