	Cables should be given per-cable serial numbers, '''not''' ~~labelled based on~~ what the endpoint is (e.g. "mirrors ~~port 1~~").		Cables should be given per-cable serial numbers (e.g. "F001"), '''not''' what the endpoint is (e.g. "mirrors").

			This is bad practice because cables inevitably get re-used without being physically re-labelled and thus that "mirrors" cable may ""temporarily"" be used for, say, Shell, and remain that way for years, until some poor sysadmin comes along and pulls the wrong cable due to the mislabelling.

	Each cable is labelled per it's type ('''E'''thernet, '''F'''iber, '''P'''ower) then given a unique numeric number (ex. "E101").		Each cable is labelled per it's type ('''E'''thernet, '''F'''iber, '''P'''ower) then given a unique numeric number (ex. "E101").
