I'm a bit confused; I thought a network tap was more for monitoring traffic rather than troubleshooting connectivity issues.

I feel like I’ve seen a similar question before, and I think a toner and probe could help trace the cable back to the switch.

I'm a bit confused by the compensating balance requirement. Does that mean I need to account for the 18% balance when calculating the APR? I'll have to review my notes on that.

Haha, Network tap? What is this, the NSA? I'm going with the classic cable tester. Can't go wrong with that.

Visual fault locator? Really? That's like using a flashlight to find a short in the wiring. I'd go with the toner and probe for this one.
