So I had my electrician pass about 35 Cat6 cables routed to a central location. So apart from the fact that some cables looked unusable because of kinking etc and I have no idea which ones might be non-functional or limited functionality now that the walls are closed...
He forgot to label the cables. All of them. What's my best option to test the quality of the link and label the cables?
Will this work?:
- Terminate cables to RJ-45 heads
- Use some kind of device that it give me details on the quality of the link, one by one, labeling the cables along the way
- Cut the RJ-45 endings and eliminate the bad links
- Terminate to the patch panel in an organized fashion and terminate to keystones on the other side
- Re-test link
Is there a better way? What tools will I need? I don't mind paying for professional tools simply to make my life easier. The EZ-RJ45 stuff looks nice, so does the JackRapid punchdown tool
