Explanation

A network crimper and a cable stripper are the tools that a technician should use to resolve this issue. A network crimper is used to attach a new RJ-45 connector to the end of the cable, and a cable stripper is used to remove the outer insulation of the cable and expose the twisted pairs of wires.
