The new LabelLink app will help cut costs and increase quality of cabling installations

Taking Note of the Industry’s Pain Points

Leading pain points:• Sufficient time to complete

installation project• Managing test results

Ongoing Challenge

Properly & accurately documenting installed cabling systems has been a challenge for years.

• At the heart of the issue – the data for an installed system is housed in multiple databases and used on multiple tools, including testing tools.

• Can this data be centralized?

• Can it then be accessed by everyone who needs it?

How it works

Step 4: Using the Brother LabelLink App, the field tech can log into LinkWare Live access the same project data to generate labels!

Note: within the LabelLink App, there is a button for transferring this database to a Brother PT E550W label printer, but first you will need to connect to this printer via it’s built in Wi-Fi antenna.

Step 5: Now the database is in the PT E550W and you can create virtually any label - faceplate, cable wrap, patch panel, and more - by using smart label application keys

Here’s how it works…

Cable and ID Labels generated from centralized project data!!

Step 6: In the field, technician will use the Versiv tester to log into LinkWare Live and download the project data including identifiers and test parameters

Here’s how it works…

About the Collaboration Together, we’ve created a new standard in datacom testing and labeling.

“LinkWare Live bridges the gap between the project manager’s office where the data for testing cables and printing labels originates, and the jobsite where Fluke Networks Testers and Brother labeling tools are used by the installation crew. For network designers, integrators and contractors, the combination of Versiv, LinkWare Live, and the LabelLink app automates multiple workflow processes and will help eliminate a major pain point in jobsite productivity. More importantly, it ensures labeling accuracy across the entire project.”

– Eric Conley, VP and General Manager of Fluke Networks

“This solution was created by two great brands combining their technologies to make network wire, cable and component testing and labeling faster and easier than ever before. It’s a real game-changer, especially for contractors engaged in standards-based labeling of large and complex datacom installations. Our Brother Mobile team is thrilled and excited to partner with Fluke Networks to introduce the LabelLink application to the world.”

– Dave Crist, President, Brother Mobile Solutions

The Advantage is Clear

“Keeping track of cable identifiers across multiple databases for testers and printers wastes time and cuts into our profitability.

Brother’s LabelLink app combined with LinkWare Live gives us the ability to use a single database for managing this important task.”

- CJ Santeford, operations manager, PowerCom
