Material, explained

Cable labels.

Also written cable ID labels, laser cable labels, self-laminating labels.

How should network cables be labelled?

Both ends, before the cable goes in, with a code that appears in the same words on the patch panel, the outlet and the drawing. Self-laminating labels wrap the cable and cover the print with a clear tail so the ink survives pulling and dust. Laser sheets suit a job printed from the schedule; a hand printer suits the site. An unlabelled cable costs an hour to trace.

Defined by ANSI/TIA-606-C, the administration standard for labelling telecommunications infrastructure, published by TIA.
