Explanation
A punchdown tool (also called an impact tool) is used to terminate individual wires into a 110-block or patch panel in the network closet. Analog desk phones connect through telephone punch-down blocks, so the technician must use a punchdown tool to move the wire terminations to the new cubicle's port. A multimeter tests electrical properties, a cable tester verifies continuity, and a crimper attaches RJ-45/RJ-11 connectors to cable ends - none of which are needed for this task.
