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
boxes, patch panels, marker ties, labels for desktop printers, and the PANAC–EA ™ LS7
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
by using a consistent font size throughout the installation. The PANAC– EA LS7 printer and
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.
All ULTIMATE ID Patch Panels can be identified with the following labels:

s = alpha character(s) uniquely identifying the TS on floor f, or the building area in which the space is located
a = one to two alpha characters uniquely identifying a single patch panel or a group of
patch panels with sequentially numbered ports, an IDC connector, or a group of IDC
connectors, serving as part of the horizontal cross-connect
n = two to four numeric characters designating the port on a patch panel in the TS or the
section of an IDC connector on which, a four-pair horizontal cable is terminated in the TS
For example:
“1A-B02” = origination point first floor, TS A, patch panel B, position 02
Each ULTIMATE ID faceplate/surface mount box is designed in a way that allows you to
center the “an” identifier clearly over each connector, while the “fs” identifier can

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.
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.
Class 2
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.
Class 3
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.
