  1. Punch Down Tool

  3. Crimper
  4. Cable Tester
Explanation
Answer: A - All of the above tools are useful for creating a CAT5 Crossover Cable except a Punch Down Tool.

Key Takeaway: To create a Cat5 Crossover Cable (or a Cat5 straight-through patch cable), you first need to strip the cable, crimp the RJ-45 connector onto either end (with the wires in proper color order), and test the cable for use. A punch down tool is only useful if you are terminating drops on a patch panel, for instance in an IDF or MDF.
