Don't want anyone to trip over it but I can't move the cable aside because it cuts thru different rooms.

I was hoping if there's a network cable that lights up so people can see it in the dark.

Something like this www.adafruit.com but as a network cable?

you could however run glow in the dark tape along the length of the cable.

1401978 2015-06-05 01:27:00 I bought some multi coloured "light up" USB micro data cables. Might be some lighted network cables made in China. Do a google image search to find out. kahawai chaser (3545)
1401979 2015-06-05 02:57:00 USB has power as well as data, network does not so you're not likely to find a glowing network cable. Alex B (15479)

Hard to find a mat 10m in length

I guess they'll have to put up with it

1401985 2015-06-05 06:58:00 Similar to Mirddles idea, maybe rig the cable to a 240V LED Strip/Rope (goo.gl) (images) system or neon tubes. (goo.gl). Jaycar (www.jaycar.co.nz) sell RGB Flexible strips with dazzling effects if you want that. kahawai chaser (3545)
