Which device sends an electrical signal through one pair of unshielded twisted pair (UTP) wires for the purpose of tracing it? A tone probe A tone generator A cable tester A tone locator
A tone generator A tone generator is the tool that sends an electrical signal through a pair of UTP wires. A tone locator or a tone probe is then used to detect the signal from the other end. This is helpful when you are dealing with a lot of wires and need to determine which end connects to the other end.
What device emits a beeping sound when it detects a signal in a pair of wires? A cable tester A multi-meter A tone probe A tone generator
A tone probe A tone generator sends an electrical signal through a pair of unshielded twisted pair (UTP) wires. A tone locator or a tone probe is then used to detect the signal from the other end. These two tools are most commonly used together on telephone systems to trace wire pairs.
How are tone generators and tone probes different from cable testers? They can only determine the voltage and resistance of the cable. They can only help you differentiate between different unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cables. They can only confirm that a signal is present on a network cable. They can only certify the cable for transmission quality.
They can only help you differentiate between different unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cables.
In what situation would you need to use a wire crimper? To verify that a signal is present on a network cable To strip wires of their protective coating To measure voltage, current, and resistance To attach media connectors to the ends of cables
To attach media connectors to the ends of cables A wire crimper is a tool that is useful when you need to attach media connectors to the end of a cable. It is common for a crimper to be included on a wire stripping tool. A multi-meter is used to measure voltage, current, and resistance. A cable stripper is used to strip wires of their protective coating. A cable tester is used to verify that a signal is present on a network cable.
when are you most likely to use a punch down tool? When you need to connect cable wires directly to a patch panel When you need to diagnose transmission problems along a wire When you need to attach the ends of two different cables to form one cable When you need to attach a media connector to the end of a wire
When you need to connect cable wires directly to a patch panel A punch down tool is very commonly used to connect cable wires directly to a patch panel in a wiring closet. The tool works by stripping the insulation from the end of the wire and embedding the wire into the connection at the back of the panel. This saves you the trouble of stripping each wire by hand and connecting it by twisting it and tightening it.
