Solution
FCM devised a color-coded and organized labeling scheme that met the network engineer’s requirements for large strings of text in a small amount of space. By re-designing our wrap around labels, and choosing industrial fonts for legibility and space considerations, we kept the cable footprint tight while maintaining legibility. We proposed a new label that worked within a space of 2cm, which included rack/port numbers as well as other information. Once the concept was prototyped and approved, we were able to quickly label each individual cable assembly, packaging them in strategic bundles that would be easy to unbox and install in a specific order. This took all the guesswork out of the installation, and saved the engineers on the ground an incredible amount of effort, ensuring a smooth and frictionless deployment. We eliminated human error and manual labeling at the job site while maintaining an elegant and legible cable profile. As a result, we became the go-to cable supplier for these types of challenging projects for them moving forward
