The first port A of the cable L is provided with a first switch S, and the second port B of the cable L is provided with a first prompting device R controlled by the first switch S.

In the application, the mode of controlling the first prompting device R by the first switch S is not fixedly limited, and the control may be realized based on a physical line or in a wireless remote control mode.

The network cable may specifically be an optical fiber network cable. In the application scenario of the network, for example, in a computer room where a switch and a server are deployed, a communication port between the switch, between the server and the server, or between the switch and the server needs to establish a line connection, where establishing the line connection is implemented by means of the network. However, since the switch and the server include a plurality of communication ports, a large number of network cables are mixed together in a staggered manner, and when a machine room is wired or a network is maintained, whether the two ends of the network cables are connected to correct communication ports is checked, and in this case, the ports connected to the two ends of the network cables need to be identified and judged.

This application embodiment the net twine, when relevant inspection personnel triggered at first port A side and opened first switch S, the first suggestion device R of second port B side goes out to trigger and opens, sends corresponding prompt message, like this, corresponding inspection personnel just can be fast accurate confirm the communication port that two ports of inspection net twine are connected now to high efficiency' S completion inspection maintenance work.

According to the network cable disclosed by the embodiment, in a scene that the connection positions of two ends of the network cable need to be checked, only the first switch needs to be opened at the first port, and the first prompting device for controlling the second port of the network cable sends out prompting information, so that the second port of the network cable can be rapidly identified from a plurality of network cables, the connection position of the network cable is further determined, and the work efficiency of network deployment and network maintenance work is improved.
