Solution

To determine which devices can be connected using a straight cable, it's important to consider the roles of the devices involved. Straight cables, also known as straight-through cables, are typically used to connect different types of devices.

  1. Router and Switch: Generally connected using a straight cable.
  2. PC and Switch: Generally connected using a straight cable.
  3. PC and Router: Generally connected using a straight cable.
  4. Similar Devices: Typically connected using a crossover cable, not a straight cable.
  5. Dissimilar Devices: Typically connected using a straight cable.

Conclusion:

The correct selections that can be connected using a straight cable are a. Router and Switch, b. PC and Switch, c. PC and Router, and e. Dissimilar Devices. However, similar devices (like switch to switch) generally use crossover cables; thus option d is not correct for straight cable connections.
