DESIGNATION MARKERS (P-Touch)
a) Designation markers shall be ½” to 1 inch in width tape, not to exceed 3 inches in length.
b) All markers shall be white with black lettering
c) A designation marker shall not overlap itself.
d) Multi-strand waxed cord shall not be used to affix a marker.
e) Designations on ¾ to 1 inch markers shall be sized to allow for all information needed but shall be no smaller than 1/16 inch.
f) Designations on ½ inch markers shall be sized to allow for all information needed but shall be no smaller than 1/16 inch.
g) A designation marker on ½ inch tape shall have no more than 3 lines of information.
h) Designation markers shall be installed so they are visible and legible. Markers must be staggered at high density applications to achieve visibility.
i) Longitudinal markers can be used for ½” or larger coax cable & outdoor deployments.
1. Cables identified with longitudinal markers shall have longitudinal markers at each end.
2. Longitudinal markers shall have the information positioned so that the information can be read without having to twist the ca ble.
3. Longitudinal markers shall be of a self laminating type to prevent the label from peeling and the marker shall be protected w ith clear heat shrink.
j) Labels shall be placed so that they do not peel or lift but remain permanently affixed.
k) All designations shall have the correct information, be at the proper location, be legible from a normal distance and viewing position, and be the proper color.
l) All designations shall be properly aligned and spaced.
m) Designations shall not be hand written.
n) Designations will be placed on smooth surfaces only.

Outdoor Deployments
a) Will use a combination of outdoor rated labels/tags.
1. Longitudinal markers with clear heat shrink for power, grounding & coax cables.
2. Vinyl labels/placards for cabinets & RRH’s.
