NP, and yeah, it takes a hot second for me to find tools and parts that are reliable, which I can expect consistent behavior out of. These are them. I've used them A LOT.

​

The one tool that I forgot to mention earlier is:

​

Fluke Networks PRO3000F60-KIT Tone and Probe - Tone Generator with Noise Filtering Probe
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CL5NCMJ/

​

So, let's say that you had these parts in hand tonight. Here's what you'd do:

​

  1. Test the wire for voltage before you even touch it. This is not only for your safety, but really, also for the safety of the tester since it can't be plugged into PoE Ethernet lines (that's what the warnings say.)
  2. Once you confirm the line is unpowered, then use this tone and probe to trace it. Let's use your porch as an example. Connect the tone generator to some of the stripped ethernet or a tip that you've crimped on with the tools that I previously mentioned (I use a keystone female <-> female so that I can plug it in)
  3. In your server closet, using the probe, you'll find the line that's beeping. The closer that you get to it, the louder that it's going to be.
  4. Crimp jack on that line.
  5. Remove the toner and then place the tester on one end and it's reciprocal part on the other (I usually put the small unpowered tip on the outside, and keep the tester on the inside)
  6. Repeat this for the other 10,000 Ethernet lines in your house. ;-)

    ​

    Bonus points if you can recruit significant other, children, or whomever to sit on the opposite end so that they can swap between the tone generator and the tester. Depending on where I'm at, it's either my wife or my buddy that does this with me. We just sit on Facetime and knock it down fairly quickly, unless I'm up on a ladder or in the attic, then I'm talking to them on my Apple watch.
