Questions[patch-panel](server)

I am new to these kind of work and I don't have much experience in network tracing. I have receive a new task which I was told to trace all patch cable of RJ45/RJ11 from the phone panel @ user desk to patch panel backend. Then I was told to produce a new updated layout of the patch panel.

There's a lot of phones in that office from ground floor to 2nd floor. May I hear your advice on how to do trace this patch cable?

thanks.

I need a fiber converter that takes single mode LC fiber from the patch to a gigabit port on the switch. I've been investigating the Canary GFT-1036, but am having a difficult time finding a vendor my university can purchase from. Are there any alternative products that anyone has/is using to offer up some ideas?
