Use consistent labels from the wall jack to the closet

Keep cable IDs and connection records consistent so your team can look up the same connection in the field.

Consistent labels make a connection easier to follow. The ID on a wall jack should correspond to the cable and connection records your team uses in the closet.

RackLume lets you look up a recorded wall-jack ID and refer to its closet connection, location, and cable length. When we document a building, existing labels and drawings are part of the information we review.

TIA-606 provides standards for administering telecommunications infrastructure. Storing a cable ID in RackLume does not by itself establish compliance. Use the naming, labeling, and documentation requirements that apply to your project.

Building records do not replace a licensed design, cable test reports, or checking the connection on site. See the Terms. The Harborline sample print sheet shows one way to present connection records on paper.
