OK, I have a bunch of cables up in my attic. One of which i need to cut into, and split out an extra 8 cables using a POE switch for a security system.
Problem is I don't know which one...... the wires come in thru a sealed hole, and then go out thru a sealed hole... I can put a tester at each end, which will tell me what cable it is at each end... But when they're in the attic, i have no idea which one is which.
I know electricians can clamp on a wire to see if there's current. Does anyone know of a similar device for CAT6, being that its such low voltage ? I could put a constant data use from one of them, and test away.
I have a wire doing nothing that's fed to the outside.. This is the wire that i need to find, but when i'm in my attic, there's a bunch of them for me to chose from.
