A technician recently received a written warning for causing a system-wide outage. The outage was a result of an unscheduled patch being manually pushed during production hours. Which of the following could have MOST likely prevented the technician from receiving the warning?
To terminate an RJ45 port, a technician should use a punchdown tool. This tool is specifically designed to insert and cut (terminate) the wires into a patch panel, keystone jack, or a network surface mount box. The punchdown tool ensures that the wire is properly seated in the terminal block and that the connection is secure. It also trims the excess wire during the termination process, which is not a function that cable testers, toner probes, or cable strippers are designed to perform.
