It depends on what type of task you need to accomplish as a network administrator.
If you want to set basic configuration on a new Cisco device, you might need a console cable.
If you want to connect workstations to an intermediary device, you might need UTP cables.
If you want to connect routers over a serial connection, a serial cable must be used.
If you want to stack switches, there is a special cable used to accomplish the task.
There are many types of cables you must consider using as a network administrator.
Cat 6
If both have a network connection you can use a crossover network cable.
Fiber-optic
Any shielded copper cable or fiber optic cable.
Assuming it has a nic card (ethernet port) you can just use any CAT6 cable (ethernet cable/network cable). Any local computer store should have them.
straight cable is needed when connecting two computer periperhals. A cross over is used when connecting a computer to a network hardware (router, swirch, etc..)
To effectively use a coax toner to trace and identify cable connections in a network setup, connect the toner to one end of the coax cable and use the probe to trace the cable's path. The toner will emit a signal that can be detected along the cable, helping you identify where it leads to in the network setup.
you can use any of the following cables: 1) Cross Over cable 2) LAN cable 3) Ethernet cable
One may use Cat5e network cable in bulk to connect to the internet or ethernet. Large amounts of cable may be used in a business or office setting to improve signals and connections.
Crossover Cable
a Crossover Cable.
To certify a straight-through cable after it has been made, you can use a network cable certifier or a cable tester. These tools assess the cable's performance against industry standards, checking for issues such as continuity, wire mapping, attenuation, and crosstalk. A cable certifier provides a detailed report on the cable's performance, ensuring it meets the required specifications for network use.
