A technician is running new Cat 5e cables to a server room. Which of the following tools should the technician use to terminate the cables at the patch panel?
The correct tool to terminate the cables at the patch panel would be a Punchdown tool. The Punchdown tool is specifically designed for terminating Ethernet cables onto a patch panel or keystone jack. It allows the technician to push the individual wires into the appropriate slots on the patch panel, ensuring proper connections and secure termination.
A cable crimper is used to attach connectors to the ends of cables, but it is not suitable for terminating cables at a patch panel.
A punch down tool, which can also be named an RJ45 punch down tool, or Krone tool, is a hand tool widely used to terminate the Ethernet cables by inserting the cable wires into the insulation-displacement connectors (IDC) on the punch down blocks, patch panels, keystone modules, and surface mount of boxes.

Shouldn't it be D - Punchdown Tool?
The question states that you want to terminate the connection AT the punchdown block, can't have that without a punchdown tool.
Also I did a bit of research into crimp tools, and generally what I see is their main use is to well... crimp, to squeeze things together, like when you crimp a RJ 11 or RJ 45, and also other types of non IT related cables, such as electrical cables etc.
I think it's confusing because usually a crimper will have a sharp edge for you to cut the outer jacket of a cable off, but I don't believe that to be the primary use of a crimp tool.
