I know at Clearwire data centers we used gray for network, blue for management and orange for RS-232 console. At least for the initial build. Later re-work or additions were whatever the tech had on hand ;) They also had labels on each end of each wire showing the path through the system, sometimes up to six lines. It did make it easy to bring up a data center and find cabling errors. To see the system last more than a year or two up upgrades would take some strong rules and oversight. I think it would be worth it if your management system can keep the religion. -- Joe Hamelin, W7COM, Tulalip, WA, +1 (360) 474-7474 On Sat, Mar 12, 2016 at 11:11 AM, Yardiel Fuentes <yardiel () gmail com> wrote:
Hello Nanog-ers, Have any of you had the option or; conversely, do you know of “best practices" or “common standards”, to color code physical cabling for your connections in DataCenters for Base-T and FX connections? If so, Could you share any ttype of color-coding schema you are aware of ?…. Yes, this is actually considering paying for customized color-coded cabling in a Data Center... Mr. Google did not really provide me with relevant answers on the above… beyond the typical (Orange is for MMF, yellow for SMF, etc)… Any reasons for or against it welcome too... -- Yardiel Fuentes
