CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1001) — Question 132

A company is terminating Cat 6 wiring at a 110 block.
Which of the following should be used?

Answer options

• A. A crimper
• B. A cable stripper
• C. A punchdown tool
• D. A tone generator

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, a punchdown tool, which is specifically designed for inserting wire into the terminals of a 110 block. A crimper is used for attaching connectors to the ends of cables, a cable stripper is for removing insulation, and a tone generator is used for signaling and tracing cables, making them unsuitable for the task at hand.
