Show answer
Answer: C
Explanation
In simple terms - you can do it with a cable tester, but you will need to check each switch port (connect the other end to each port and run a test), while with tone generator you just hover over switch ports and hear "tone" when you get the right one. I may be wrong as I am not an expert but I do wiring jobs occasionally so we use these tools a lot.
