You are a network technician tasked with setting up a new office network. After laying out all the necessary cables and making the encounter intermittent connectivity issues in some parts of the office. You suspect there might be issues with the cable runs or the terminations.

To diagnose and resolve these issues, what is your next step?

Use a cable tester to diagnose the issues by checking for cable conditions, crosstalk, attenuation, noise, resistance, and other characteristics.

Ignore the intermittent connectivity issues and proceed with setting up end user devices, hoping the problem resolves itself.

Replace all the cables in the office with new ones without testing the existing installations.

Manually inspect each cable for visible signs of damage without using any testing tools.
