A data center is experiencing intermittent network issues. The technician notices that cables are not labeled and are tangled, making it difficult to trace connections. Which cable management practice would best improve troubleshooting and reduce the risk of accidental disconnection?

Bundle cables with zip ties to keep them tight

Use the same color for all cables to maintain consistency

Run cables along the floor to avoid overhead clutter

Use color-coded cables and label both ends

A network technician is terminating a Cat6a cable with a RJ45 connector. After crimping, the technician uses a cable tester and finds that pins 4 and 5 are not connected. What is the most likely cause of this issue?

The cable was cut too short before crimping

The cable tester is not calibrated

The wires for pins 4 and 5 were not pushed all the way into the connector

In which scenario would a media converter be most useful?

Connecting a switch with only copper ports to a fiber optic backbone

Connecting two switches that both have fiber ports

Connecting a router to a modem using an Ethernet cable

Connecting a printer to a computer via USB
