Examples; Engineering Labels For Twisted-Pair Cables - H3C SecPath M9000-AI-E8 Installation Manual

•
Affix labels with good order in alignment.
•
Avoid cable bents or other positions that might affect cable installation when you stick a label or
bundle a cable tie with a power cord identification plate.
•
Bundle cable ties at the same positions of power cords, with identification plates on the same
side.
•
The positions of "up," "down," "right" or "left" are all based on the viewpoint of the engineering
person who is working on the label.

Engineering labels for twisted-pair cables

These labels are affixed to twisted-pair cables that connect cards in a chassis.

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 device and a server:
For the device end—Rack number, chassis number, and Ethernet port number on the

device.
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 device and a terminal:
For the device end—Rack number, chassis number, and Ethernet port number, or the

specific location of the device if the device is laid separately. The definitions of the rack
number and chassis number are the same as those described in Table8-1.
Meaning
MN—Rack number
B—Chassis number
C—Slot number
D—Ethernet port number
MN—Rack number
Z—Location number
Example
•
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, A01.
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.
