Explanation

Network jack faceplates are labeled with the corresponding patch panel port identifier (e.g., 'PP-A12'). This creates a clear end-to-end mapping: wall jack → patch panel port → switch port, enabling technicians to quickly trace a cable run, troubleshoot connectivity issues, or reconfigure connections. MAC addresses (A) and switch ports (C) are dynamic and can change, making them poor choices for permanent labels. VLAN identification (D) is a logical network configuration, not a physical cable characteristic.
