Selected Answer: EF
E. RJ45 connector F. Crimper The technician will need to replace the faulty RJ45 connector on the end of the Cat 5 cable. A crimper is a tool used to crimp the connectors onto the cable, ensuring a secure connection. A tone generator (Option D) is used to test the continuity of a cable and detect issues with individual wires. A network tap (Option B) is a device that monitors network traffic and provides a way to access the data for analysis or monitoring purposes. A magnetized screwdriver (Option C) is used to secure screws, while scissors (Option A) can be used to trim excess cable. To fix the issue, the technician will need to crimp a new RJ45 connector onto the cable using a crimper tool.

If a Cat 5 cable connected to a network jack fails when it is moved around, the two items that a technician must use to fix the issue are an RJ45 connector and a crimper. The RJ45 connector is used to connect the Cat 5 cable to the network jack 1. The crimper is used to attach the RJ45 connector to the Cat 5 cable. Scissors, network tap, magnetized screwdriver, and tone generator are not the most appropriate items to fix the issue.

Crimper is good to cut cables too and you will need a RJ45 to rebuild the T568
