Abstract
Methods, systems and computer program products are provided for assisting use of a cable by locating connector ends of the cable. The process includes obtaining saved cable identifying information received, or saved, from a tag circuit associated with a connector end of a cable of a plurality of connector ends of multiple cables, and 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. Based on the comparing identifying a cable match, the cable match is indicated 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.
