You need to solve some network connection problems, but unfortunately many labels are missing from the patch panel in the telecommunications room. Briefly describe the tool you would use, and how you would use it, to trace the cables so that you can properly label both ends of each cable on the patch panel and in the work area.
What will be an ideal response?
This requires tracing the cables with a toner, which has two separate devices. Beginning at one end of the patch panel, I would disconnect the patch cable connected to the first port and plug in the tone generator. Then I, or a co-worker, would go to each work area and place the tone probe next to the other end of each cable that might be the right one. When the tone probe makes a sound at the correct frequency, we will have located the other end, and can properly label both ends.
