Abstract
The present disclosure provides improved color-coded labels, and improved systems and methods for utilizing such color-coded labels. More particularly, the present disclosure provides advantageous systems/methods for utilizing printable color-coded pattern label arrays for patch field applications and the like. The present disclosure provides improved methods for labeling data center applications (e.g., patch field applications). In exemplary embodiments, by fabricating a pre-printed, repeating pattern of the colors defined by industry specification TIA-598 to a roll/sheet of printable labels, this color coding can be advantageously applied to an array of patch field labels. Once the individual labels are printed and applied, the individual label color will translate to a sub-unit fiber number, while the overall array of label colors will reveal the panel polarity, which is important service information, which will be delivered in an immediate visual color-coded manner to the servicing technicians without the need for additional text.
