Engineering Labels; Labels For Cables; Labels For Signal Cables; Labels For Power Cables - HP A8800 Installation Manual

Engineering labels

Engineering labels are used to identify cables and devices for easy maintenance after installation.
There are two types of engineering labels, labels for cables and labels for devices.

Labels for cables

Cables include signal cables such as network cables and fibers, and power cables such as AC power
cables and DC power cables. Labels for cables fall into labels for signal cables, labels for power
cables, and generic labels.

Labels for signal cables

A label for signal cables is L-shaped with fixed dimensions. The light-blue dividing lines on the label
help to specify more clearly the position of the cable. For example, there is one dividing line between
the rack number and the chassis number and another one between the chassis number and the slot
number. The cut dotted line helps to fold the label when you affix it to the cable. A mark "TO:" is
located at the lower right corner of the label to identify the peer end of the cable on which the label
is affixed.
As shown in
Write the position of the cable in Area 1.
•
Write the position of the cable on the peer end in Area 2.
•
Area 3 is the part that is folded up inside the label when the label is affixed to the cable.

Labels for power cables

A label for power cables should be attached to the identification plate on a cable tie that binds the
power cables. The identification plate has an embossment of 0.2 × 0.6 mm (0.008 × 0.02 in)
around (symmetric on both sides), and the area in the middle is for affixing the label.
A mark "TO:" is located at the upper left corner of the label to identify the peer end of the cable on
which the label is affixed. You can write the position of the peer device, control cabinet, distribution
box, or power socket. The meaning of the dividing lines is the same as labels for signal cables.
