Do you have any suggestions or hints for me? We’re testing „cableScout“, the only one I found, next week but. Unfortunately it isn’t easy to get any information about such tools! :(

We're starting to use PatchManager. It is flexible enough to handle

but we have been focusing on our LAN copper cabling first, so we
haven't done much with the fiber plant yet.
