CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1001) — Question 273

A technician identifies an incorrectly terminated network cable as the cause of intermittent network drops. Which of the following tools should the technician use to reterminate the network cable?

Answer options

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct tool for reterminating a network cable is a crimper, as it is specifically designed to attach connectors to the ends of cables securely. A loopback plug is used for testing network ports, a cable tester checks for faults in the cable but does not assist in termination, and a multimeter measures electrical properties but is not suitable for cable termination.
