Step 5: Documentation (Figure 30)
Identify remote location termination and determine code to be printed. It should only be necessary
to print the remote location. Printed code from label makers may be axed to the label card on the
inside of the front door.

5.2 Cable/Jumper Labeling
Fiber termination identication is equally important in mapping the data center network. Individual bers
(such as jumpers) must be clearly labeled to identify local and remote location. Typically a single jumper will
contain two labels on each end of the ber near the termination point identifying the specic local id and the
remote id the jumper is patching to. It is important to follow suite with previous dened code indicating rack
or cabinet id, patch panel id and more specically the individual port or ber termination location. One should
cross reference the recommended guidelines in ANSI/TIA-606-A-1. Proper labeling allows users to easily trace
jumpers from one location within the network to the next.
Most common identication methods for individual ber id employ the use of ag or wrap around preprinted
labels. Barrel or snap-on labels may also be employed but user must select the proper barrel label for the
corresponding jumper diameter, e.g., 2.0 mm. Documentation should clearly identify individual ber strands of
the cable or jumper.
