LABELING COMPLIANCE BROCHURE
(Featuring the PANDUIT ULTIMATE ID Network Labeling System)

TIA/EIA-606-A Labeling Compliance Brochure

For compliance with the TIA/EIA-606-A standard, PANDUIT has the solution. This brochure will walk you through the labeling requirements of the standard and introduce you to identification solutions specifically designed to comply with TIA/EIA-606-A. The standard establishes guidelines for owners, end users, manufacturers, consultants, contractors, designers, installers, and facility administrators involved in the administration of the telecommunications infrastructure. Proper identification of your network allows moves, adds, changes, trouble shooting, and repairs to be accomplished faster and more efficiently. PANDUIT offers a full line of network connectivity products, labeling products, software, and printers to assist you with TIA/EIA-606-A compliance. The ULTIMATE ID Network Labeling System featured in this brochure was designed specifically with the TIA/EIA-606-A standard in mind. It includes faceplates, surface mount EA LS7 boxes, patch panels, marker ties, labels for desktop printers, and the PANAC hand-held thermal transfer printer. All ULTIMATE ID hardware uses labels with a common compact height; this not only enhances the appearance of the installation, but also saves time and money by providing a clear and efficient way to label according to the TIA/EIA-606-A standard. All labels are positioned adjacent to, centered and parallel to the module they are identifying. The appearance of the installation can be further enhanced EA LS7 printer and by using a consistent font size throughout the installation. The PANAC PANDUIT desktop labeling software can both be used to mechanically print labels with the same font.

Section 5.1.2 States A horizontal link identifier, unique within the building, shall be assigned to each horizontal link and to its elements. In the Telecommunications Space (TS), each patch panel port shall be labeled with the an portion of the identifier. This requirement may be met by labeling a patch panel with the a portion of the identifier, and each port with the n portion where: a = one to two alpha characters uniquely identifying a single patch panel, or a group of patch panels with sequentially numbered ports
n = two to four numeric characters designating the port on a patch panel in the TS For example: A07 = patch panel A, position 07

The ULTIMATE ID patch panel and labeling system allows you to center the an identifier over each port.

Section 10.1 States The size, color, and contrast of all labels should be selected to ensure that the identifiers are easily read. Labels should be visible during the installation of and normal maintenance of the infrastructure. Labels should be resistant to the environmental conditions at the point of installation (such as moisture, heat or ultraviolet light), and should have a design life equal to or greater than that of the labeled component. Section 10.2 States To maximize legibility, all labels shall be printed or generated by a mechanical device.

Labeling Solutions for TIA/EIA-606-A

The TIA/EIA-606-A standard establishes guidelines for owners, end users, manufacturers, consultants, contractors, designers, installers, and facilities administrators involved in the administration of the telecommunications infrastructure. Four classes of administration are specified in the standard, to accommodate diverse degrees of complexity present in the telecommunications infrastructure. The specifications for each class include requirements for identifiers, records, and labeling. addresses the administration needs of a premises that is served by a single telecommunications space (TS) containing its telecommunications equipment. Required in class 1 administration are identifiers for the TS, any Telecommunications Main Grounding Busbar, and all elements of the horizontal links.

Class 1

For a copper horizontal link, the elements include: the connecting hardware (e.g., patch panel port or the section of a punchdown block terminating a four-pair horizontal cable) a four-pair horizontal cable a telecommunications outlet/connector terminating a four-pair horizontal cable in the work area If a consolidation point (CP) is present: the segment of four-pair horizontal cable extending from the TS to the CP connecting hardware the CP connecting hardware or section of a punchdown block terminating a four-pair horizontal cable the segment of four-pair horizontal cable extending from the CP connecting hardware to the outlet/ connector of a multi-user telecommunications outlet assembly (MUTOA) or to the work area outlet If a MUTOA is present: a telecommunications outlet/connector in the MUTOA For an optical fiber horizontal link, the elements include: a pair of optical fiber terminations on a patch panel in the TS a pair of optical fibers in a cable a pair of optical fiber terminations in the work area a telecommunications outlet/connector terminating a pair of optical fibers in the work area If a consolidation point (CP) is present: the segment of optical fiber cable extending from the TS to the CP connecting hardware. the CP connecting hardware or section terminating a pair of optical fibers the segment of optical fiber cable extending from the CP connecting hardware to the outlet/connector of a multi-user telecommunications outlet assembly (MUTOA) or to the work area outlet.

Class 2 Class 3

administration provides for telecommunications infrastructure administration needs of a single building or tenant that is served by a single or multiple TSs within a single building. Class 2 administration includes all elements of class 1 administration, plus identifiers for backbone cabling, multiple-element grounding and bonding systems, and firestopping.

administration addresses the needs of a campus, including its buildings and outside plant elements. Class 3 administration includes all elements of class 2 administration, plus identifiers for buildings and interbuilding cabling. Administration of pathways and spaces, and of outside plant elements is recommended. administration addresses the needs of a multi-site system. Class 4 administration includes all elements of class 3 administration, plus an identifier for each site, and optional identifiers for wide area network connections.

Class 4

PANDUIT Identification Products can assist you with all the labeling procedures required by this standard. The size, color, and contrast of all labels should be selected to ensure that the identifiers are easily read. Labels should be visible during the installation of and normal maintenance of the infrastructure. Labels should be resistant to the environmental conditions at the point of installation (such as moisture or heat), and should have a design life equal to or greater than that of the labeled component. To maximize legibility, all labels shall be printed or generated by a mechanical device. Panduit provides everything you need to comply with the TIA/EIA-606-A standard for all of your structured cabling labeling requirements!

Horizontal Link Identifier Labeling Format

A horizontal link identifier shall have a format of fs-an where: f = numeric character(s) identifying the floor of the building occupied by the Telecommunications Space (TS) Floor (1) s = alpha character(s) uniquely identifying the TS on floor f, or the Telecommunications building area in which the space is located Space (A) a = one to two alpha characters uniquely identifying a single patch panel, a group of patch panels with sequentially numbered ports, Patch Panel ID (A) an IDC connector, or a group of IDC connectors, serving as part of the horizontal cross-connect Port ID (004) n = two to four numeric characters designating the port on a panel in the TS, or the section of an IDC connector on which a four pair horizontal cable is terminated in the TS EXAMPLE- 1A-A004 = Origination Point 1st Floor, Closet A, Panel A, Position 004
