SG0-001 · Question #219
Which of the following connector types would be used to interface with iSCSI based storage?
The correct answer is B. RJ-45. iSCSI (Internet Small Computer System Interface) uses standard Ethernet networking infrastructure, therefore requiring RJ-45 connectors for copper-based connections.

Why each option
iSCSI (Internet Small Computer System Interface) uses standard Ethernet networking infrastructure, therefore requiring RJ-45 connectors for copper-based connections.
IEEE 1394 (FireWire) is a serial bus interface standard primarily used for connecting peripheral devices like external hard drives or video cameras, not for iSCSI storage area networks.
RJ-45 connectors are standard for Ethernet connections, which iSCSI leverages to transmit SCSI commands over IP networks. This allows iSCSI to utilize existing network infrastructure for storage connectivity.
DB-25 connectors are typically associated with older parallel ports or serial communication, not modern network or storage interfaces like iSCSI.
HD68 connectors are used for Ultra SCSI parallel interfaces, which are an older generation of SCSI physical connections, unrelated to iSCSI which operates over Ethernet.
