How it works
- Type the panel name, for example PP1, and choose the number of ports.
- Optionally write one destination per line, in port order: Office 1, Office 2, Printer…
- Check the labels: panel name, port number padded with zeros, then the destination.
- Copy the list as text or tab-separated columns for a label printer or a spreadsheet.

Questions
- How are the labels numbered?
- Panel name, a dash, then the port number padded to at least two digits, so PP1-01 to PP1-24 sort correctly in a spreadsheet. Change the first port number if the panel continues another one.
- Does it follow a cabling standard?
- No. It only produces consistent labels. Standards such as ANSI/TIA-606 describe a full labelling scheme for a building, and you should follow your organisation’s rules if it has one.
- Is the list saved?
- No. Everything stays in your browser and is lost when you close the page, so copy the result before you leave.
