You need a <a href="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16899708055&cm_re=tone_probe-_-99-708-055-_-Product" target="_blank">tone and probe</a>. You put the tone on one end of a cable, then when you put the probe near the other end (doesn't need direct contact) of the cable it makes a noise. You can hook it up to either a bare wire, telephone wire or ethernet cable. Extremely useful when figuring out which cable in a bundle is which.<br>

Hi guys,<br>
I'm in the position of having to move our networking "closet". This<br>
isn't anything large, just 3 servers and 2 switches. I'm just<br>
wondering if any of you have done anything similar and had any tips<br>
and tools that would make the job easier. One part of the job is<br>
getting all the cat5 labeled, is there a tool out there that you hook<br>
up to one end of the cable and lets you know what line coming out of<br>
the ceiling is the corresponding cable?<br>
<br>
<br>
Share and Enjoy<br>
Ben<br>
