More to Cable labels than the specification. 2016

Cable Labels

So we read about cable labels, how they are the next best if they do not burn, smoke and fall apart, well the technicians of this world just want a cable label to stick and NOT come off.

At our office in Sunny Florida and we have a bunch of cable labels outside on test and just in case you don’t know we have thousands installed out at sea, which is the most hard environment in the world.

All the service engineer need to knows is that when he comes back in 5 years to fix the Cat6 fault the cable labels is still on the cable and readable. Now we are not saying that (LSZH) low smoke zero halogen cables don’t need to be installed and that cable label of the same material would help, but been in the areas that have had ship fires around me the news is that the jacket and everything else has gone, just a bit of copper hanging from the ceiling.

The Europe Cable labels that we have had on test outside for the last years have changed color and cracked and fallen apart, to the point you cannot read them, so they did not pass our Florida test, our USA made cable labels have not, seem our label material are better than or friends on the other side of the pond.

So we can test can burn any label you want but our tech know that’s just for show, as in a major fire the last thing on your mind is cable labels, in fact we had to exit a ship once when a transformer set on fire. On our hand and knees all the way out, when we went back to look nothing was there, just the copper cores and all the LS/ZH cables burned with the rest of the power room.

So our point is, yes, meet the needs of the company you are installing for, but you do need a cable labels that sticks, no good if it comes off even if it will not burn. We test our labels in the Home dish washer, we have six samples that have been washed over 300 times and you can still read and they have not come off, so test you labels in the real world not the lab, as a tech we need them to stick and read, not that smoke has no importance, but in 95% of all fires LS/ZH is irrelevant and not needed.

There are no UL standards for Cable labels and there is no Cable label I know that would not smoke in the fires I have seen, so we make sure our cable labels do two things, stick and stay readable the rest is just lab tests that in real life mean nothing.

Most cable labels made in Europe fade and crack in Florida, our labels do not.

You can read data sheets, but set fire to your sample labels, trust me they burn like the cable they are stuck on and 99% of fires do not involve data communication cable, but they all burn up with the rest of the LS/ZH labels sold.

Now before I am flooded with engineers telling me off, yes specifications do matter and you have to stick to them, but I have never seen one tender that covers LS/ZH cable labels and having had meetings with UL about cable and labels, they confirm there are no current regulations for the cable labels.

When I used my first Cable Label 2016

So having been a Tech from the RS232 days when we would run some screened four core cable to a “VDU” from a 25 way cinch plug, to a wall jack I made sure I numbered everything.

The so called “D” cinch plug cover was BIG so we just marked the number on the side with a marker pen and a small one on the back so you could see it when plugged into the PDP 11/34. The other end was a white MK face plate cut to receive a 25 way cinch socket, it had a smooth surface, so we used a product called Letraset, we would rub the number off on the top corner seemed to work well and looked great at the time.

The point here is the cable never had any marking on it we would test them with a OHMs meter all three wires and number them in order and beside broken cable, never had any problems.

The next labeling we worked with was twinaxial which was one basic line with a number of screens added, all the numbers used on the line normally on the data jack on the wall like 1/1 and 1/2 and on so you knew line one and device 2,3, or more the line just went on forever and the user could switch on or off on the wall plate.

Then came IBM token ring and Ethernet on a yellow cable “thick net” and then thin net all needed little or no labeling as one line or loop heading one place. No matter how hard I try I cannot recall any cable labels been used.

Then I was asked to install a Cat 4 cable UTP job, all new to me 4 twisted pairs and color coded seen nothing better. But now we have a DR site “Disaster recovery” and 400 cables to install around the building, I think the first time we marked each cable with a sharpie with little lines and pulled in bunches of eight and then labeled the patch panel and the data jacks. (No cable Labels yet)

The very first time I can recall using a cable labels was in 1984 on a new DR site, we had to install around 500 drops and they had to be removable under the computer room floor, the point of this was they would be installed ready in one location, but a unit next door could also be used if they did not need the UTP in that area.

We found a company that made groups of eight cat 5 cable installed in one PVC jacket, so we had to label each group A1 – A8 and B1 – B8 all pre terminated, we found that Krone (ADC) (TE) had the Patch panel that allowed the RJ45 to be removed and terminated each group of eight into a floor box with eight RJ45’s.

We labeled each RJ45 for the patch panel end with homemade wrap around cable labels, the main cable of eight with a BIG “A” and the jack box with normal card inserts A1 – A8 all the way up to ZZ-1.

After this we tended to label everything in some form or other until I moved to the USA in 1995 and had big projects on cruise ships to number, on the first few jobs we used hand held labels machines, we started each project with may be three hand held labeling printers and we always left the ship after 10 days with one. As soon as our back turned. GONE this just cost me a bunch of money in label machines and tapes.

Contact was made and each project we would pre print all the cable labels and a few extra for those extra runs that are always added at the end, we also took some spare to the project just in case. We also printed out patch panels labels and data jacks all ready just to stick on.

So now if we see any cable without a label we are on it and the question is when did you install your first cable label.
