A technician is looking at an issue with a computer connecting to the network. The technician determines wire 3
of a UTP Ethernet cable run has a break in it. This computer was previously connected to the switch at 1Gbps
throughput. This PC is a kiosk and does not need anything more than 50-60Mbps connection speed. Which of
the following can the technician do to resolve the issue quickly?
A.
Rewire both ends to have the wire on pin 6 remapped to pin 3. Force the duplex and speed to 100Mbps full
duplex.
B.
Rewire both ends to have the wire on pin 6 remapped to pin 3. Force the duplex and speed to 1000Mbps
full duplex.
C.
Rewire both ends to have the wire on pin 7 remapped to pin 3. Force the duplex and speed to 100Mbps full
duplex.
D.
Rewire both ends to have the wire on pin 7 remapped to pin 3. Force the duplex and speed to 1000Mbps
full duplex.
Explanation:

1000Mbps uses all 4 pairs (Not possible since 1 cable is broken)
100Mb/s uses 2 pairs: pins 1,2,3,6
Because 3 is broken and u can’t use 6 (because it is in use) you need to use 7 at the position of 3.
Answer should be C.
why would you force full duplex and connection speed on an already specified 50-60 mbps that’s needed in this kiosk
