Need to Identify and Label Cat 5/5e Cables

[allanc]

Had a newb blow out a $400 switch because he threw a toner on one that was live... also had another guy blow the main tester cause he threw it on a live PoE cable..... smoked and all!

Usually places that are unlabeled often are mis-punched and frequently use non-UL listed cable..
Professionals label and test all cables
Pizza-cablers don't label and just punch to "match" the ends and often times don't cable to BISCI standards....

Somedays other cablers annoy the living daylight oughta me!!

Oh, BTW...
One of the patch panels is in a thin and dark clothes closet.
The panel is about 7' up.
The closet has a non-removal shelf which has 2 switches on it.
There is also a very heavy safe in this closet which is not going anywhere.
The panel is on a side wall (not facing towards me).
From what I can see, after going through a lot of contortions, most of the patch panel is either not labelled or illegible.

How about this as an adjunct? Spendy, but shop around:

Has anyone used an inline live lan tool like the one in my post above?
