5.2 Cable/ Jumper
Labelling
Fiber termination identi
cation is equally important in mapping the data center netw ork. Individual
bres
(such as jumpers) must be clearly labeled to identify local and remote location. Typically a single jumper w ill
contain two labels on each end of the
bre 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 w ith previous de
ned code indicating rack
or cabinet ID, patch panel ID and more speci
cally the individual port or
bre t ermination location. One should
cross reference the recommended guidelines in ANSI/ TIA-606. Proper labelling allows users to easily trace
jumpers from one location w ithin the netw ork to the next .
M ost common ident i
cation methods for individual
bre ID employ the use of
ag or w raparound preprint ed
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
bre strands of
the cable or jumper.
