CableBadger documents switches, patch panels, wall jacks, and floor plans into one connected record — built on site, exported clean, and backed by your own database.
Six connected views, each built to fill in fast while you're standing in the room — and color‑coded the way real cabling is.
Place switches, patch panels, and servers by U. Label every port and record MACs, IPs, and serials as you go.
Trace the building over a photo, place wall and phone jacks, and tie each to the exact rack port it terminates on.
A link diagram drawn from the cabling you entered — no second data set to keep in sync. Rearrange to match the room.
Assemble any faceplate from port groups, SFP blocks, and gaps until it matches the hardware. Save it and reuse it.
Produce a port schedule, device list, and jack map as a real Excel workbook a client can open and read.
Technicians edit; administrators manage users. Every login is a separate account, enforced by the database.
Import a floor plan image, trace the walls, and drop the wall jacks and phone jacks where they physically sit.
Build each rack, label the ports, and link jacks to the ports they land on. The connection map assembles itself.
Generate the client workbook — port schedule, device inventory, and jack map — and move on to the next site.
CableBadger runs as a desktop application over your own MariaDB server. It works in a basement with no signal, writes back the moment you're on the network again, and keeps each client's record separate. The tedious part is handled, so the wiring is documented right the first time.
Run the installer, point it at your database, add your technicians.
