A compact, 9V battery powered locator that blinks a connected port's link LED every 2 seconds to help you quickly identify an Ethernet run on managed or unmanaged switches. Plug the inline device into the cable at the far end or into a patch panel; the built-in circuit momentarily toggles link activity without altering data traffic, forcing the switch's link LED to flash on a consistent 2-second cycle for easy spotting across crowded racks.
Key features:
- Universal compatibility: Works with managed and unmanaged switches and most Ethernet ports.
- Consistent blink: Toggles link LED every 2 seconds for reliable visual identification.
- Battery powered: Runs from a standard 9V battery for convenient field use.
- Inline or patch-panel use: Small form factor fits behind equipment, on jacks, or at cable ends.
- Non-intrusive: Does not inject tones or interfere with network traffic.
- Safer than tone testers: Avoids electrical probing and intrusive signal injection; reduces risk of disrupting active network links or connected equipment.
Perfect for technicians tracing runs in data centers, offices, and wiring closets — fast, portable, and safer than traditional tone-based testers.
