MN-Z
The information provided on the following labels is different, subject to different devices that the
twisted-pair cables are connecting. For example:
•
On a label for the twisted-pair cable that connects a switch and a server:
For the switch end—Rack number, chassis number, and Ethernet port number on the
switch.
For the server end—Rack number and chassis number, or the specific location of the
server if the server is laid separately.
•
On a label for the twisted-pair cable that connects the switch and a terminal:
For the switch end—Rack number, chassis number, and Ethernet port number, or the
specific location of the switch if the switch is laid separately. The definitions of the rack
number and chassis number are the same as those described in
For the terminal end—Ethernet port number of the terminal.

•
A01-03-10-05—The local end of the twisted-pair cable is connected to Ethernet Port 05, Slot 10,
Chassis 03 of the rack on Row A, Column 01 in the equipment room.
•
B02-03-12—The peer end of the twisted-pair cable is connected to Ethernet Port 12, Chassis
03 of the rack on Row B, Column 02 in the equipment room.

Engineering labels for optical fibers

These labels are affixed to optical fibers that connect the fiber ports on the cards in a chassis, or
connect fiber ports on box-type devices. There are two types of labels for optical fibers: labels for a

B—Chassis number
C—Slot number
D—Ethernet port number
MN—Rack number
Z—Location number

Example
Numbered in top-down order with two digits, for
example, 01.
Numbered in top-down and left-right order with two
digits, for example, 01.
Numbered in top-down and left-right order with two
digits, for example, 01.
•
M—Row number of the rack in the equipment
room, in the range of A to Z.
•
N—Column number of the rack in the
equipment room, in the range of 01 to 99.
For example, B02.
Location number of the terminal or device onsite.
If you connect the cable to a router in a rack, specify
the rack number, chassis number, and Ethernet port
number, for example, B02-03-12. If you connect the
cable to a terminal or an NMS, specify the location
number of the terminal or the NMS.
