There is no such thing as a Stupid Question!
Don't be embarrassed of your curiosity; everyone has questions that they may feel uncomfortable asking certain people, so this place gives you a nice area not to be judged about asking it. Everyone here is willing to help.
- ex. How do I change oil
- ex. How to tie shoes
- ex. Can you cry underwater?
Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca still apply!
Thanks for reading all of this, even if you didn't read all of this, and your eye started somewhere else, have a watermelon slice 🍉.

Maybe not easier, but network cable testers can send a tone through allowing you to plug the sender at a wall jack and use a wand at the terminal end to see which plug is which. The wand picks up an audio tone through the cable.
You’d need one with alligator clips or something rather than just network connections though.
Alternatively a multimeter and just measure for resistance on the cable itself, like at the outer shielding? Never tried, but I think it would work.
