Contents on Labels
The contents on a label for a signal cable are different from the contents on a label for a power
cable.
For a Signal Cable
The two sides of a label affixed to a signal cable indicate the location of the ports connected to
both ends of the cable, as shown in
.
l
Area 1 carries the location information about the cable end to which the label is to be affixed.
l
Area 2 (with the "TO:" mark) carries the location information about the other end of the
cable.
l
Area 3 is folded between area 1 and area 2.

Area 1
Area 3
Area 2
If the label is viewed from the cable leading-out area, it appears on the right side of the cable.
The side with "TO:" that faces outward indicates the location of one end of the cable; the other
side indicates the location of the other end.
For a Power Cable
A label for a power cable is affixed only to one side of the identification plate. The information
(the part after the mark "TO:") on the label indicates the location of the peer end device, control
cabinet, cable distribution box, or socket of the cable end to which the label is affixed.
Precautions for Using Labels
Pay attention to the following items when using the labels:
l
When you print or write information on the labels, or affix the labels, ensure that the labels
are clean.
l
Do not use ink-jet printers or ink pens to print or write on the labels because the label paper
is made up of moisture proof and waterproof material.
l
Affix labels neatly. The new label is of striped type. The appearance of the product is
affected if the affixing position or direction is not correct.
l
Bundle the cable ties at the same height, and place all identification plates in the same
direction.
l
The positions of "up", "down", "right", and "left" in this section (excluding the description
of printer setting) are viewed when you face the labels.
