Selected Answer: C
The technician connects the tone generator to the Cat 6 cable at one end. The tone generator sends a signal or tone through the cable. The technician then uses the probe to scan the network rack and listen for the tone. When the probe is near the cable carrying the tone, it emits an audible sound, helping the technician identify the correct cable among the mess of cables in the rack.
