Explanation

A cable tester (also called a wire map tester or continuity tester) verifies that all eight conductors in a CAT6 cable are correctly terminated by checking for proper pinout, continuity, shorts, and miswires between the two ends of the cable. A punch down tool is used to terminate wires into keystone jacks or patch panels. A crimper is used to attach RJ-45 connectors to the ends of cables. A multimeter measures electrical properties like voltage and resistance but is not designed to verify network cable wiring order or correct termination.
