CompTIA Network+ (N10-007) — Question 455

A network technician receives a spool of Cat 6a cable and is asked to build several cables for a new set of Ethernet runs between devices. Which of the following tools are MOST likely needed to complete the task? (Choose three.)

Answer options

• A. Wire stripper
• B. Cable crimper
• C. RJ-11 connectors
• D. RJ-45 connectors
• E. Multimeter
• F. Punchdown tool
• G. Tone generator

Correct answer: A, B, D

Explanation

The correct tools for creating Ethernet cables from Cat 6a are a wire stripper to remove insulation, a cable crimper to attach connectors, and RJ-45 connectors, which are used for Ethernet connections. RJ-11 connectors are not suitable for Ethernet, while the multimeter, punchdown tool, and tone generator are not necessary for building standard Ethernet cables.
