A network technician is terminating 48 new Cat6a cables into a patch panel in a new server room. The cables are run from various offices and are not yet labeled at the wall jacks. The technician wants to ensure that future troubleshooting is efficient and that the installation is maintainable. What is the most important practice to follow during the termination process?

Use Velcro ties to bundle cables neatly at the back of the rack

Leave extra slack in the cables to allow for re-termination

Terminate the cables in the order they come out of the conduit

Apply a unique label to both ends of each cable before termination

A technician is installing a new 25U rack in a small server room. The room has a raised floor, and the technician is concerned about the rack's stability. The rack will hold several heavy servers and a UPS. What is the most important step to ensure the rack does not tip over?

Place the heaviest equipment at the top of the rack

Secure the rack to the floor or a wall using anti-tip brackets

Install the rack on the raised floor without any additional support

Ensure the rack is properly grounded

A company is setting up a network in a warehouse that has no climate control. The temperature can exceed 40°C (104°F) in the summer and drop below 0°C (32°F) in the winter. The network equipment will be placed in a small, unventilated closet. What is the most important environmental consideration to address?

Place the equipment on a shelf inside the closet

Use Cat6a cable instead of Cat5e cable

Install a dedicated heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system for the closet

Ensure the cable trays are securely mounted to the wall
