While probably one the least talked about
standards, and one that is often considered
voluntary, the TIA-606-B labeling standard exists
for a reason. An unlabeled infrastructure
results in an unmanageable mess that ultimately
makes every reconfiguration and troubleshooting
task a time-consuming, frustrating and costly
tracing game of hunt and peck. Despite the fact
that it is an industry best practice, labeling
takes time--especially if you're manually
creating identifiers for every outlet, every
cable, and every patch panel port and managing
them in a separate database. So however the
essential task of labeling can be accomplished
faster, more efficiently and with improved
accuracy, the end result is savings. Thankfully
as the saying goes, "there's an app for that."

A Time Saving Partnership
If you're using a Fluke Networks' Versiv tester
model such as the DSX-5000 CableAnalyzer, OptiFib
er Pro OTDR or CertiFiber Pro, you're hopefully
already taking advantage of LinkWare Live, the
cloud-based service that lets you manage
certification jobs anytime and anywhere. And
while it may seem like this time and money saving
service that lets you send results electronically
from the jobsite, configure and download test
requirements to testers, and even track a
tester's location and status right from your
smartphone couldn't possibly get any better, it
has. Fluke Networks has teamed up with Brother
to introduce LabelLink, a mobile app that allows
Brother's industrial handheld PT-E550W labeling
tool to wirelessly download identifiers from
LinkWare Live for printing. And because LinkWare
Live allows you to easily automate the creation
of groups of identifiers prior to testing, the
information you need to label is already right
there at your fingertips. In other words,
LinkWare Live and the new LabelLink app work
together to bridge the gap between the office
where the project originates and the jobsite
where the data is needed for testing with the
Versiv tester and for printing laminated cable,
patch panel and faceplate labels with the Brother
PT-E55OW.

No More Excuses
Now available free from the US App Store for
Apple iOS devices, with future Android support
and other countries in the works, Label Link is
easy to use. When it's time to label, simply
enable the Brother PT-EFF0W tool's Wi-Fi, connect
your smartphone, use the Label Link app to log
onto LinkWare Live and send the identifiers to
the labeler. Then use the labeling tool to select
the identifiers, choose the type of label you
need and print! The industrys first and only
jobsite workflow solution for printing labels
virtually from a tester, Label Link doesn't just
make labeling faster and easier than ever
before--by eliminating duplicate data entry into
both a tester and a labeling tool, human input
errors are reduced for better accuracy. With
Label Link and LinkWare Live, there's no more
excuses for not doing this essential task.
Remember, the time it takes to label is nothing
compared to the amount of time it takes to make a
change or troubleshoot a cable down the road
without knowledge of where each end
terminates. Don't have LinkWare Live? Access
