Re: [WISPA] Cat-5 Tracer
You should be able to use a tone/probe kit to trace the lines out. Clip the toner on one cable, return to switch and use the probe to locate that line, then repeat on each successive line.

Drops go all over building. Want to label each one in the closet as to where it goes. Is there any easy way to trace these lines short of taking each one offline? Doubt it but thought I would ask.

Re: [WISPA] Cat-5 Tracer
Have you tried to clip a toner on the outside of a cat5 cable and gotten it to tone down the line? I'm curious if any/some/most toners are strong enough to get to the copper.

Re: [WISPA] Cat-5 Tracer
We had an old one with a clip but it also had a plug that we used. Plugged it in inside the office then ran down to the switch and toned it out. I'm not sure what you can do without a few seconds of downtime. Have some 2way radios and a guy sitting at the switch running the probe across.
