CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1202) — Question 106

A network engineer is dealing with an emergency situation in which a wired network connection needs to be replaced. A facility manager tells the network engineer that the current connection goes underneath a carpet and must be rerouted. Which of the following is the best reason to reroute this connection?

Answer options

• A. Appropriate cable management removes a hazard.
• B. Cleaning with a vacuum will create static electricity.
• C. Labels for the cable routing are not appropriately displayed.
• D. Walking over the cable can create intermittent issues.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because proper cable management is essential to prevent hazards such as tripping or damaging the cable. Options B, C, and D, while relevant to cable management, do not address the immediate safety concern of removing a hazard associated with the cable being beneath a carpet.
