Voltage meter

Submit

3. When inspecting a crimped RJ45 connector, you notice the wires are not fully inserted into the connector. What is the most probable outcome?

The connection will work fine

Poor contact and intermittent network issues

The cable will be faster

No effect on performance

4. True or False: A toner and probe can be used to locate a cable run inside a wall even if the cable is not powered.

True

False

Submit

6. Which tool is essential for verifying continuity of each individual wire pair in a Cat6 Ethernet cable?

Toner probe

Crimper

Cable tester

Punch-down tool

7. True or False: Both ends of a straight-through Ethernet cable must use the identical T568A or T568B wiring pattern.

True

False

8. A network technician is testing a newly installed wall run. The cable tester indicates continuity but the network switch does not detect the port. What is the most likely issue?

The cable is too long

The pin order is incorrect

The toner probe was not used

The crimper is defective

Submit

10. True or False: A toner and probe set can definitively identify whether a cable is Cat5e or Cat6.

True

False

11. Which tool is primarily used to attach RJ45 connectors to the end of Ethernet cables?

Crimper

Toner

Cable tester

Multimeter

Submit

13. When using a crimper, pressing down on the handles compresses the connector onto the cable strands. What must be properly aligned first?

The cable jacket color

The individual wires in the correct order

The connector size label

The crimper brand name

Submit

15. Which of the following is NOT a standard function of a network cable tester?

Check wire continuity

Verify correct pin configuration

Measure cable bandwidth capacity

Identify open or short circuits

16. What is the primary difference between a punch-down tool and a crimper?

Crimper connects RJ45 connectors; punch-down tool terminates wires on keystone jacks

Both tools perform identical functions

Punch-down tool is only for fiber optic cables

Crimper is used exclusively for wall outlets

17. A network technician suspects a cable run is broken inside a wall. Which tool would be most appropriate to locate the exact position of the break?

Cable tester

Toner and probe

Crimper

Multimeter

18. When crimping an Ethernet cable, which standard wiring order is most commonly used in North America?

T568A

T568B

Either T568A or T568B, as long as both ends match

Proprietary manufacturer standard

19. What does a cable tester verify about an Ethernet connection?

Physical cable length only

Continuity and proper pin order

Maximum bandwidth capacity

Age of the cable jacket

20. A toner probe is used to locate cables within walls. What is the primary function of the tone generator in this system?

Test cable continuity

Emit an audible signal along a wire

Measure voltage levels

Verify RJ45 connector quality
