A network technician is tasked with creating several custom-length patch cables for a new office setup. After cutting the bulk cable to the appropriate lengths and stripping the outer jacket, which of the following tools should the technician use to securely attach the RJ-45 connectors to the ends of the cables?
A crimper is the correct tool used to attach connectors, such as an RJ-45 connector, to the end of an Ethernet cable. The tool presses the internal pins of the connector into the individual wires and secures the cable within the connector housing. A cable stripper is used before crimping to remove the outer jacket. A WiFi analyzer measures wireless signal strength, and a loopback plug is used for testing network ports.
