Back when I was cabling for a living, I had a nice unit that looked a lot like the VDV II Pro - it made life VERY easy when pulling a bunch of cables at once and then needing to identify them between patch panels and wall sockets ;)
These days though, I just have a Pockethernet. Damned thing is fantastic. I charge it maybe once a year. Bluetooth's to my phone, and does basically anything you could possibly want. You can even configure vlan settings etc so can verify voice and data vlan settings on ports with voice+data vlans configured for VOIP phones that're configured to drop their own traffic into a voice vlan, and then pass traffic from a data vlan out their PC port.. Displays POE info, wiremap, Cisco CDP, and also standard LLDP identification so it works on other vendors' switches as well. Oh, does TDR as well. I love the thing! Probably the best thing I've ever backed on Kickstarter. If you don't need the multiple remote probes, have a serious gander at the Pockthernet :)
I have a Pockethernet its a great device, the only issue I have is the quality the wiremap/loopback terminator mine was crap from the start. I can not see how to buy them from the website. Mike
