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
Wire strippers
Cable tester
A toner, which consists of a tone generator and a probe, is specifically designed for tracing and identifying wires or cables within a group. It works by sending a tone signal down the cable, which the probe can then detect. This is crucial in environments where cables are unmarked or bundled together, allowing a technician to follow the tone to locate the correct cable. A cable tester is primarily used for verifying the functionality and integrity of a cable's connections, not for tracing its physical path. Wire strippers are used to remove the protective coating of wires for termination. A Wi-Fi analyzer is a tool for wireless networks and is not applicable to wired cable tracing.
