2.1.2.4 Color Conventions

• No drooping cables or fiber. Cables of correct length need to be used in all racking.

• Outside corporate network is purple (most cables on the network rack will be purple because most of our servers are outside).

• Backup is yellow.

• Inside the corporate network is green.

• Network cables can be white or gray between server and below floor cable harmonica and need to be purple in the telecom rack, cat 5e plenum rated.

• Console cables need to be blue for both telecom rack and server to below floor cable harmonica, cat 5e plenum rated.

• All network, console, and fiber cables need to be labeled with cable length in the middle. Server name, Harmonica port, switch name and blade/port info on both ends of network and console connections. Fiber connections need from and to footprint locations, device names, and board/slot info on both ends.
