Abstract
An identification tag is described that includes a tab portion having a unique identifier, an anchor portion, and a tether portion connecting the tab portion to the anchor portion. The anchor portion has a permanent pressure sensitive adhesive to secure the tag to one of a patch cable or a port disposed in a patch panel. In an exemplary aspect, the tag portion, anchor portion and the tether portion of the tag are formed as an integral structure. The unique identifier is a two-dimensional code, that is printed as an inverted image to provide improved network security and prevent reading of the unique identifiers by unapproved reading devices.
