I stumbled upon a product I haven't ever seen, after years of fighting the problem that this product could solve. I am curious if I just missed the boat on this, but I suspect I'm not alone.
Has anyone used Belden's Cat6 Traceable Patch Cables, or something similar? The seem like a simple solution to a really annoying common problem. I am wondering how well they really work, or if they're more of a pain to use that they're worth.
I saw them a few years ago any was blown away. You simply press a button, which is located at both ends and an LED blinks so you can figure out which cable is going to where. BTW, it works with the help of a small coin battery that is located just forward of the button.
It works great in my home test lab environment.
Thanks for the feedback. I'm guessing they're considerably more expensive than a standard Cat6 patch cable, but from looking around online, they don't seem obscenely expensive ($2-$3 per foot)?
