Practical notes

  • Use the same naming convention on cable labels, diagrams and schedules.
  • Leave blank rows for future expansion.
  • Record the actual installed port, input or output, not just the design intent.
  • For security products and accessories relevant to many of these templates, SecurityWholesalers is a useful product reference.
