Hi everyone, I hope you're all doing well. I'm trying to organize Ethernet cables in a patch panel (see the linked image). I think around half of them aren't being used. How can I check if a cable is currently in use? Since most ports aren't labeled or numbered, I've considered using an Ethernet cable tester, but it might not be the best fit. Any suggestions on the best approach? Thanks, Ben.

Examine the illumination above the network ports. This helps determine if they are linked or not.
