Telephone, cable, gas, and other companies feed a signal in and trace it
with a receiver. Lot easier and safer too.

You could always use PowerPoles with a 12 volt light at the other end...

Now that's a clever idea. Make two adapters for each end of the

there right mind hauling a generator up.
At work, we joke about using a AC plug to coax connector adapter as a
test tool to figure out where a mystery run of coax goes. Over the
past 60 years, there have been lots of coax runs installed between
labs. A bundle of coax disappears into the wall, ceiling or floor,
and presumably connects to a similar looking bundle in some other
lab. Rather than pay to run yet another line, you want to re-use
what's available.
Hook up one end to the line current, and listen for screams or look
for smoke at the other end as whatever is connected makes its
presence known.
