An
effective cabling system is one that is properly installed, maintained and updated. In order to
maintain and update a cabling system in an efficient manner, an adequate administration
system is required.
An administration system consists of records that document the location of all
telecommunications components and the unique identifiers that have been assigned to those
components. It details the procedures for assigning identifiers to the components
and placing labels on the components. The administration system provides a structure
wherein additions, changes and deletions can be easily incorporated into the administration
documentation.
