Maybe C since a punchdown tool does push wires into jacks, and those can use RJ45 connectors sometimes. But thinking more about cable ends, pretty sure you actually need a crimper there. Let me know if I'm missing something.
Did you check the official CompTIA objectives or lab guides for these tool types?
A Confusing if you think about patch panels, but for the connector itself only a crimper works, not punchdown.
Its C. I thought punchdown tools are used for attaching wires, like when connecting them to network jacks and patch panels. Not 100% sure if that applies for RJ45 though, but it feels like the right answer here. Anyone else get tripped up by this?
