CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1101) — Question 517

A technician needs to fix a Cat 5 cable issue. The cable, which is connected to a network jack, fails when it is moved around. Which of the following items must the technician use to fix the issue? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Scissors
• B. Network tap
• C. Magnetized screwdriver
• D. Tone generator
• E. RJ45 connector
• F. Crimper

Correct answer: E, F

Explanation

The correct answer is E and F because the RJ45 connector is needed to reattach or replace the end of the cable, and the crimper is required to secure the connector to the cable. The other options do not address the physical connection issues that are likely causing the cable to fail when moved.
