Network Tools are specialized tools used to create, maintain, and troubleshoot network connections. This includes tools used to connect various types of cables, such as Ethernet cables, coaxial cables, and fiber optic cables. Network Tools are designed to provide a reliable, secure connection between various electronic devices.
Ethernet cables are generally used to transfer data between personal computers, routers, hubs, and switches. To create a connection, an Ethernet cable must be plugged into a network card or port on both devices. Network Tools are used to ensure that the connection is properly made. This includes tools such as cable testers, crimpers, and punch-down tools. Cable testers are used to test the integrity of an Ethernet cable and identify any potential problems. Crimpers are used to cut and strip the insulation from the cable and attach the connector. Punch-down tools are used to connect cables to wall jacks and patch panels.
Coaxial cables are used to connect television sets to a cable box, router, or modem. To create a connection, the cable must be plugged into a coaxial port on both devices. Network Tools are used to ensure that the connection is properly made. This includes tools such as cable cutters and screwdrivers. Cable cutters are used to cut the insulation from the cable and attach the connector. Screwdrivers are used to attach the cable to the wall jack or modem.
Fiber optic cables are used to transfer data at very high speeds over long distances. To create a connection, the cable must be plugged into a fiber port on both devices. Network Tools are used to ensure that the connection is properly made. This includes tools such as fiber cutters, cleavers, and fusion splicers.
