You need a tone and probe
<http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16899708055&cm_re=tone_
probe-_-99-708-055-_-Product> . 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.

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


Share and Enjoy
