Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank TheOgre
Also helpful for rats nest wires where you can only find the ends. Haven't used one of these on Ethernet but I would imagine an adapter or hard wire would allow you to trace those as well.

The transmitter sends a tone/siren through the wires that you cannot hear without the receiver on the other end.
You would take the receiver to where you think the other end of the wire is, hold the point nearby, and if it's your wire, you will hear the siren.
Technically the siren will be audible even if you're near any part of the wire - so say you have a cable internet outlet, you plug it in with that adapter and you can follow where it goes in your walls, crawlspace, etc, perhaps out to a splitter sending it three ways from your cable company, then determine which fork on the splitter it's coming out of.
