Attaching Labels

Label for Signal Cables

• Choose the place to attach labels.

  The label is attached 2 cm (0.79 in.) from the connector on a signal cable. In special cases (for example, to avoid cable bending or affecting other cables), other positions are allowed to attach the labels. The rectangular part with text is attached facing right or downward, as shown in Figure 1. The details are as follows:

  • The identification card is to the right of the cable in vertical cabling.
  • The identification card should be downward when you lay out the cable horizontally.

Power Cable Label

Remove the label from the backing page, and attach it to the identification plate on the cable tie. The label should be attached to the rectangular flute on the identification plate, and attached to only one side of the identification plate. In an equipment room, all labels should be attached in the same way. The cable ties are bundled at 2 cm (0.79 in.) from the connectors, and other positions are allowed in special circumstances.

Cable ties should be bound on both ends of a cable. After the bundling, the finished identification plate should be on top of the cable in horizontal cabling, or on the right side of the cable in vertical cabling, as shown in Figure 3. The details are as follows:

• The identification card is to the right of the cable in vertical cabling.
• The identification card is on the top of the cable in horizontal cabling. Make sure that the label is facing out.
