A network technician suspects that several issues in the network are due to unmarked cables that might be incorrectly patched. What is the BEST tool to use to trace and identify these specific cables within a bundled and unmarked group?
Toner
Wi-Fi analyzer
Cable tester
Wire strippers
A toner, also known as a tone generator, is specifically designed for tracing and identifying wires or cables within a group without needing to disrupt signal operations. It works by sending a tone signal down the cable, which can be picked up by a tone detector or probe. This is crucial in environments where cables are unmarked or bundled together, allowing technicians to follow the tone to the correct cable. A cable tester, while useful, is primarily used for testing the functionality or connectivity of the cable, not for tracing its path or identifying it from a group of many. Wire strippers are used to remove the protective coating of wires for termination, not for tracing or identification.
