What type of Ethernet ports does the mixed interface combo card provide?

The mixed interface combo card indeed provides auto-sensing 10/100 Ethernet ports. This feature allows the card to automatically detect and configure its operational speed based on the connected device’s capabilities, accommodating both 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps connections. Auto-sensing is particularly advantageous because it simplifies network setup and ensures compatibility between devices operating at different speeds, providing flexibility in network design.

In contrast, while Gigabit Ethernet ports support higher bandwidth and faster speeds, the mixed interface combo card is specifically designed for 10/100 speeds. The option indicating only 10/100 Fast Ethernet ports does not reflect the auto-sensing capability, which is a critical feature of the card. Similarly, the choice mentioning only fiber optic Ethernet ports is incorrect as it does not align with the specifications of the mixed interface combo card, which typically includes copper-based connections rather than being limited to fiber.
