CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1101) — Question 232

A technician connects a new computer to the internet and then opens the wiring closet. Even though all of the wires are terminated, nothing in the wiring closet is labeled. Which of the following tools should the technician use to complete the task?

Answer options

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The toner probe is the correct choice because it helps identify and trace cables in a wiring closet, especially when they are not labeled. A cable tester is used to check for connectivity issues, a loopback plug is intended for testing network interfaces, and a punchdown tool is for securing wires into a patch panel, none of which will help in locating specific cables.
