These are the pain points that network operation and maintenance personnel have always found difficult to solve, from small enterprise computer rooms to large data center computer rooms. In current data centers, the traditional method of identifying the physical routing position of network cables is to attach paper labels at both ends (head and tail) of the network cables, and the staff identify the routing position through the paper labels. This method may lead to human error. In many cases, when looking for the physical routing position of network cables, the staff identify the labels at the ends of the network cables by naked eyes. However, due to the poor lighting in the cabinet, the large number of devices carried in the cabinet, and the various cables mixed together, the staff's work efficiency is greatly affected. The staff is very likely to misread the letters or numbers on the labels, and in serious cases, the equipment and data in the cabinet may be seriously damaged.
