How to Design an Effective Data Centre Cable Labelling System

 With a web of cables, it becomes essential to arrange them in a manner wherein they are manageable and easy for any technician to understand at the time of repair. There are ways in which you can label your cable system, which is as follows:

 

Recycle: Recycling labels are good for the environment, and also, it is a time-saving practice. When you have to replace or relocate a cable using the older labels helps you save time.

 

Label printer: it is essential to use an efficient label printer; efficient means long battery life, and also the cartridges last long. The printer should be tough; in case if someone has dropped it, it doesn’t break.

 

Colour coding the labels: for a better labelling system, colour coding is an essential factor. Colour coding helps you identify the cable at a glance, and you can follow the cables easily.

 

Label size: sometimes space is not enough on the labels for writing down the information, so the size of the label should be taken accordingly; if you want to write additional information, you can.


You can also hire a company that can take care of the network cable management system without your interference.

 

The best practice to write down a label is to use three lines: near end termination, far-end termination and cable purpose.


Versatile printers: always use printers that are versatile and have different cartridges for different purposes. The labels sometimes need to be fluorescent or printed on some other materials. Buy a printer that helps you print labels with different options.


Nomenclature: select a nomenclature for your labelling system, which the technicians should understand. It would be best if you did not get confused about what the abbreviation stands for; you may note down the abbreviations you selected.

Always try to keep the labelling system simple rather than complicating it with infinite colour choices and codes.

 

Cable racks are also used for arranging the cable in a data centre.
