Why each option

Proper labeling of cables and ports directly reduces the likelihood of connecting cables incorrectly, making it the most effective method for limiting cabling mistakes.

AProper labelingCorrect

Proper labeling identifies each cable's source, destination, and purpose, allowing technicians to quickly verify connections and avoid mismatches during installation or maintenance. Without labels, cables in a bundle are visually identical, leading to errors. Labeling is a foundational physical layer best practice for reducing human error in cable management.

BAsset management

Asset management tracks inventory of hardware and software assets but does not address preventing physical cabling connection errors.

CKeeping good vendor logs

Vendor logs record purchasing and support interactions with suppliers but have no bearing on how cables are physically identified or connected.

DKeeping up-to-date repair logs

Repair logs document historical fixes but do not provide technicians with the real-time identification needed to prevent future cabling errors.
