Match each network troubleshooting task to the most appropriate hardware tester or protocol analysis tool.
- Testing battery voltage and checking electrical continuity of a power cableMultimeter
- Pinpointing the exact distance to a break in a single-mode fiber-optic runOptical Time-Domain Reflectometer (OTDR)
- Tracing an unlabeled UTP copper cable from an office wall jack to a patch panel portTone generator and probe
- Decoding packet header fields and analyzing live traffic on an Ethernet interfacePacket analyzer (e.g., Wireshark)
Cevap
Multimeter pairs with electrical/continuity testing; OTDR pairs with pinpointing fiber optic distances and breaks; Tone generator and probe pairs with tracing copper cable runs; Packet analyzer pairs with decoding packet headers and inspecting network traffic.
Each tool is designed for a specific medium and function: multimeters handle electrical circuits; OTDRs analyze optical fiber runs; tone generators trace copper cables; packet analyzers capture and decode protocol traffic.
