Cool idea, but you can pick up an inexpensive LAN cable tester for under $10 that can serve this purpose and also check each individual wire for connectivity.
Of course you can and using a dedicated Lan Cable tester is the best tool for locating and testing utp cables. For this reason i am using in my projects the Microscanner2 from Fluke Networks!
Somewhere on youtube seen a guy who had a great idea. He made a bunch of rj45 plugs that had an led in them ..... wired up the patch panel then plugged in the led enabled plugs. Then helper went around with 9v battery and plugged it into the office end and it lit up the indicated light on the patch panel. He also sold the system to I think. anybody come across this guy?

Is there any tool I can purchase for this?
Sometimes you can find solutions without spending a lot of money.
Nice

it's dangerous in production environment. it will fry your switch port.
No it won't, it's low voltage and it's not even going through a switch - that is a patch panel.
