This one is plenty safe to stick on a live cable, plus it works a whole lot better than the old analog ones: http://www.flukenetworks.com/fnet/en-us/products/IntelliTone+Toner+and+Probe... -- Tim On Thu, Jun 19, 2008 at 7:50 PM, Nathan Ward <nanog@daork.net> wrote:

A useful tool is a audio cable tracer. When disconnecting a PC you attach the signal injector. You then use the other half of the tool to identify the cable (it buzzes when near). This allows the patch cables to be pulled with certainty rather than left in the rack just in case it attached to some other host and you fear causing an unplanned outage.
You whack on one of these things when there's still active gear on the end?
