5.9 Labeling
After the cable is installed, label the cable segments for ease in future
maintenance of the network. Adhesive labels are available
commercially for cable identification.
If a cable layout diagram exists for the installation, label each segment
in accordance with the diagram. If a diagram does not exist, refer to
the examples in Chapter 2 and prepare a diagram showing the cable
segments and method of identifying them for future service. Then label
the segments accordingly.
Affix the labels to the cables at each network node drop. Place them at
a point that will be visible to maintenance personnel.
Complete the network installation labeling by properly labeling each
site’s cabinet or enclosure, device mounting panel, and device.
Notify the person who will be responsible for future maintenance of the
network, and deliver the network documents to that person. It is
suggested you do a walking tour with that person through the network
sites to produce familiarity with the network layout.
