Wiring standards used for creating straight-through cables are known as which designation?

• A. Ethernet (568A/B)
• B. RJ-45
• C. USB-C
• D. HDMI

Answer: (A)

Wiring standards for straight-through Ethernet cables are defined by the TIA/EIA-568 pinout. These standards specify the exact order of the eight conductors inside an RJ-45 plug. When both ends use the same pinout, the cable is straight-through, which is used to connect different device types (for example, a computer to a switch). The RJ-45 is the connector, not the wiring scheme itself. USB-C and HDMI are different interfaces altogether and are not the Ethernet wiring standard for straight-through cables.
