Fiber labels
Introduction
If pre-printed labels are not available, use a label-maker to create labels for each end of
each fiber. The label should include:
•
Rack location
•
Circuit pack
•
Port
•
Direction (IN,OUT)
Labeling the fibers
To apply the labels to the connectors, use the following procedure.
........................................................................................................................................................................................................................
1
Remove the appropriate label from the backing sheet or the label maker.
........................................................................................................................................................................................................................
2
Apply the label to the strain relief boot, close to the body of the LC connector.
........................................................................................................................................................................................................................
3
Adhere the end of the label with the printed text first.
........................................................................................................................................................................................................................
4
The label must be oriented perpendicular to the main axis of the connector.
........................................................................................................................................................................................................................
5
Wrap the label around the boot so that the second wrap is directly on top of the first wrap.
(The label will wrap around the boot approximately two times). The text is printed
diagonally on the label so that it can be read when applied the correct way.
Important!
Do not apply the label diagonally to the boot. The label must wrap
directly on top of itself for the adhesive to work.
