CABLE TRACING IN A DATACENTER |
| 摘要 |
Embodiments of the invention provide a method of tracing cable through a datacenter. The method causes a cable to emit a radio frequency signal along the length of the cable. One or more structural members have a detection circuit that will illuminate in response to detecting the radio frequency signal with greater than a threshold signal strength, such that the one or more structural members are easy to identify when the detection circuit is illuminated. The one or more structural members may be removed to gain physical access to the cable. |

1. A method, comprising:
causing a cable to emit a radio frequency signal along the length of the cable; identifying one or more structural members having a detection circuit that has illuminated in response to detecting the radio frequency signal with greater than a threshold signal strength; and removing the one or more structural members to gain physical access to the cable. |
