CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1001) — Question 329

A technician has been asked to terminate a 60-pair Cat3 bundle at the IDF on a 110 block.
Which of the following tools should the technician use to complete the task?

Answer options

• A. Punchdown
• B. Crimper
• C. Loopback plug
• D. Cable stripper

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct tool for terminating a 60-pair Cat3 bundle on a 110 block is a Punchdown, as it is specifically designed for this purpose. A Crimper is used for attaching connectors to cable ends, while a Loopback plug is used for testing, and a Cable stripper is for removing insulation from cables, none of which would complete the termination task.
