Therefore, the information in Area 1 at one end is the same as the information in Area 2 at the
other end of the cable. In other words, the local information at one end is called the opposite
information at the other end.
B.1.7 Precautions for Using Engineering Labels
When using labels, note the following:
l When printing, writing, or affixing labels, you should keep the labels clean.
l Since the label paper is made of moistureproof and waterproof material, ink-jet printers
and ink pens are forbidden for printing and writing labels.
l Labels should be affixed tidily and gracefully. New-type labels are strip-shaped. If they are
pasted at incorrect locations or in wrong directions, the appearance of the device is affected.
l Power cable ties should be bundled in the same position of power cables, with identification
plates on the same side.
l The positions of “up”, “down”, “left” or “right” are all based on the viewpoint of the
engineering person who works on the label.
B.2 Engineering Labels for Optical Fibers
This describes the engineering labels for optical fibers, including the labels for the optical fibers
between devices and the labels for the optical fibers between a device and an ODF.
These labels are affixed to the optical fibers that connect the optical interfaces on the boards in
a chassis, or on the device boxes. There are two types of labels for optical cables:
l One is for the fiber that connects the optical interfaces on two devices.
l The other is for the fiber that connects the device and the ODF.

Meaning of the Label
Table B-2 lists information on both sides of the labels affixed to the optical fibers that connect
two devices.

MN: cabinet
number
M: The cabinet rows from front to back are numbered
from A to Z.
N: The cabinet columns from left to right are numbered
from 01 to 99.
For example, A01 is the cabinet in Row A and Column
01.
