Edit: misread the question, yes it won't give any reading until connected at both ends.

Awesome, thanks for the insight.
I was surprised the Telus install tech didn’t have anything like that considering they are always trying to chase wires and should be testing them too. He only had a POS wire tracer that never seemed to give a reading on anything. What should have taken 10 mins took 90 and then I asked him if he figured out where any of the other wires he looked at went to he said no. When I asked him if there was something to get like what you’ve suggested, he said no.
Thank god the Cat5 that ran to the spot where the fibre came in went to a main floor central spot.
