A network technician has been tasked with creating a patch cable. The RJ45 connectors will not stay attached to the cable. Which of the following tools is needed to fix this issue?
If the RJ45 connectors will not stay attached to the cable, the technician will need a crimper to fix the issue. A crimper is a tool that is used to attach connectors to the ends of cables. In this case, the technician can use the crimper to attach new RJ45 connectors to the cable.
A cable tester is a tool that is used to test the connectivity of a cable. It is not designed to attach connectors to the ends of cables.
A punchdown tool is a tool that is used to terminate wires onto a patch panel or keystone jack. It is not designed to attach connectors to the ends of cables.
A loopback plug is a device that is used to test the functionality of a network port. It is not designed to attach connectors to the ends of cables.
I am so confused! I swear the answer is B, but it says loopback plug is correct?? There's no way that's correct right? Loopback plug isn't used to connect a disconnected cable. How accurate are the "correct" answers on this study guide?
Something I've notice about this website is that, if the most-voted for answer is different than the supposed "right" answer, then the actual right answer is the most-voted for one.
Crimper is a tool that fixes the jack to a patch cord so answer B is correct. The cable tester attached each end of the cable to test the patch cord end-end connection. A loopback plug is a tool to test the NIC card or switch port's abilities to receive and send signals. The punch-down tool fixes each conductor into Insulation Displacement Contact ( IDC).
A and D are usually for testing or verifying cable connectivity. C does not really apply in this scenario. Since the RJ-45 connectors are not staying on the cable, the crimper would be used. Thus, the answer should be B.
