CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1001) — Question 90

A technician is troubleshooting a network that is experiencing inconsistent connections through one of the network drops in the board room. The technician wants to verify the integrity of the network run but needs to identify which cable comes from the board room. However, none of the network connections in the network room are labeled.
Which of the following are the BEST tools for the technician to use to identify the correct network run to troubleshoot? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Cable stripper
• B. Cable tester
• C. Tone generator
• D. WiFi analyzer
• E. Multimeter
• F. Probe

Correct answer: C, F

Explanation

The correct tools are the Tone generator (C) and Probe (F), as they work together to trace and identify specific cables in a network. The other options, like Cable stripper (A), Cable tester (B), WiFi analyzer (D), and Multimeter (E), do not provide the necessary functionality to locate and trace the correct network run.
