If you’re going to do this a lot, I highly recommend getting a wire label maker: https://www.bradyid.com/en-us/
products/labels-and-tapes/ Get nylon labels, not vinyl. They’re much better.labels/wire-and-cable-labels/ wire-and-cable-labels-for- portable-printers
As far as color, we use: blue for data, white for phones, green for wireless, yellow for cameras, red for uplinks, etc. Doesn’t really matter as long as you create and follow your own standard.

Subject: Network Cable ID
Infrastructure folks (or those that have an opinion):
How, or do you, label your network cables? Write on zip ties? Color labels directly on cable? Different color for different purpose? Different color patch cables?
Trying to get a what works and what doesn't...I am wanting to label/ID at my schools so that if someone where to take a look at one, it would make sense at another location.
Thoughts? Opinions?
Thanks, enjoy this Summer weather and see you Monday at Dynamic Landscapes 2017!
