I spend my time tracing down patch panel ports via LAN wiring configuration diagrams that are often inacurate or out of date. If some one can give a recomend on which one to buy I would very much appriciate it.

You need something that supports the Cisco Discovery Protocol in order to tell you what switch you're on and which port. https://www.flukenetworks.com/fnet/en-us/products/LinkRunner/Features/

Cabe Tracker It will make the link light on the port pulse in a certain sequence so you can find it easily.
