Exam 220-1101 topic 1 question 140 discussion

Update to previous comment: The correct answer is B due the user requesting a single power source. My brother pointed out to me that "Single power source" could be the key. USB C gets power from the laptop it's connected to. Where a docking station typically has its own power source in addition to the laptop's power source.

The BEST accessory to meet the new user's needs would be a docking station with DisplayPort. A docking station provides a single connection point for multiple peripherals, including a keyboard, mouse, speakers, and dual monitors, while also providing power to the laptop. DisplayPort is a popular video connector that supports high-resolution displays and can handle dual monitors. A PoE switch provides power to network-connected devices and would not support keyboard, mouse, speakers, or dual monitors. A USB-C hub with power delivery can support a keyboard, mouse, and speakers but may not support dual monitors. A KVM switch with audio would allow the user to switch between multiple computers and peripherals, but it would not support power delivery or dual monitors.

I'm confident that C is the best choice to meet the new user's needs. It provides a single connection point for the laptop, supports various peripherals, including dual monitors, and typically includes power delivery and wired network connectivity features.

With "wired network connectivity" A USB C hub will NOT have that.USB C is not used for wired network connectivity, its an RJ45. This is the main reason the answer MUST be C.

Google KVM to know more

Hubs expand the number of ports on your device to connect and/or charge another peripheral. They work like power strips for your computer. Docking stations are plugged into the wall and transform your portable device into a desktop replacement. A dock is like adding a second engine to your computer. I think the confusion with the answer lies in that most modern day docking stations plug into a USB C port that is also compatible with thunderbolt 3 or 4. A hub only gives you more USB ports a docking station gives you video and most docking stations that do thunderbolt also supply power to the laptop.

Other testing sites state that C is the correct answer

docking stations and monitors is keyword here

I set up docking stations and monitors at my job a lot. laptop gets power from docking station. answer is C

If you go with B, you will B incorrect.

I initially thought that this was C but after doing my research the answer is B. USB C Hubs can support dual monitors.

This one is very tricky, due to both the USB C Hug and the docking station can both support display/hdmi and network connections. Not sure if there are multiple answers and each answer is worth a certain number of points, but I originally went docking station but after reading realized USB C Hub would be the most modern answer. USB C also has power and is portable.

A KVM switch with audio allows the user to control multiple computers with a single keyboard, video monitor, and mouse but it doesn't provide the peripheral support that the new user is requesting. . Therefore final answer is C

KVM switch. KVM stands for "keyboard, video, mouse," and allows you to control multiple computers from a single keyboard, mouse, and monitor. These switches are often used to manage racked servers where a number of servers are placed in a single rack.
