A network technician is tasked with connecting a legacy fax machine in an office to the network. The fax machine uses an older connection interface. Which type of cable should the technician use to connect this device?
RJ11 cables are commonly used for telephone connections in North America and are suitable for devices like fax machines that require a single telephone line connection. RJ45, used primarily in Ethernet networks, and RJ48, often used for T1 lines, are not suitable for traditional fax machine connections. Coaxial cables are generally used for television and broadband connections, not for telephone-based fax connections.
