CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1001) — Question 200

A customer wants to install a new computer in a room that does not have any network drops. The customer authorizes a technician to install a new network jack in the room. Which of the following tools should the technician use to finish installing the new network jack?

Answer options

• A. Multimeter
• B. Loopback plug
• C. Crimper
• D. Punchdown tool

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, the Punchdown tool, which is specifically designed to connect wires to the network jack by pushing them into the terminal blocks. A Multimeter (A) is for measuring electrical properties, a Loopback plug (B) is used for testing network ports, and a Crimper (C) is used for attaching connectors to cables, but none of these are suitable for the installation of a network jack.
