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.
