Explanation

A punch down tool (also called an impact tool) is used to press individual wires from a twisted-pair cable into the insulation-displacement contacts (IDC) of a keystone jack or patch panel. The tool simultaneously seats the wire and trims the excess. A toner probe (A) is used to trace and locate cables. A cable tester (B) verifies continuity and wiring correctness after termination. A crimper (D) attaches RJ-45 or RJ-11 connectors to the end of a cable - it is not used for wall jacks.
