Assisting cable use by locating connector ends of the cable

A system for assisting cable use by locating connector ends of the cable, the system comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• a processing circuit communicatively coupled to the memory, wherein the system performs a method comprising:
• obtaining saved cable identifying information received from a tag circuit associated with one connector end of the cable of a plurality of connector ends of multiple cables;
• comparing the saved cable identifying information with cable identifying information of an other tag circuit associated with an other connector end of the plurality of connector ends;
• and
• based on the comparing identifying a cable match, indicating the cable match via an indicator associated with the other connector end, thereby identifying the other connector end as part of the cable to facilitate use of the cable.

A computer program product for assisting cable use by locating connector ends of the cable, the computer program product comprising:

• a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions being executable by a processor to cause the processor to:
• obtain saved cable identifying information received from a tag circuit associated with one connector end of the cable of a plurality of connector ends of multiple cables;
• compare the saved cable identifying information with cable identifying information of an other tag circuit associated with an other connector end of the plurality of connector ends;
• and
• based on the compare identifying a cable match, indicate the cable match via an indicator associated with the other connector end, thereby identifying the other connector end as part of the cable to facilitate use of the cable.
