Icreated a simple Microsoft Word template that I use to print out neat labels for the Behringer PX3000 patchbay. The template will not fit the PX2000 patchbay, the spacing of the connectors is different.

I know this is an old thread, but I just developed a program to label patchbays. Its pretty sweet. My company installs recording studios and I have tried many different ways to label patchbays, and I decided someone needed to write a program. Anyway, you can check it out at aztecpatchbay.com or drop me a line if you have any questions.


You mean to resize the columns? Usually you can just hover the mouse over the column line until, find the spot where it turns into two vertical lines with arrows pointing out left and right. Then click and drag to move the column line.


I had mine printed to a large format digital printer (at my day job;

a sign shop) on repositionable vinyl then cut out the jack holes and borders with a plotter, covered it with transfer tape (very similar to masking tape) and laid it down on the faceplate of the patchbays.


Hey Guys, I just release a brand new patchbay labelling program that does not require excel (like my previous version) and is FULLY MAC COMPATIBLE!!! It works with Windows too. Check it out if anyone is interested.


Keeping track of which cable goes where on your patch bay can be a real pain. We've developed a handy tool that lets you plan your patch bay layout and order a custom printed vinyl label to fit perfectly on your equipment.


Navigate to the Samson S-Patch. Scroll down and you'll see our configuration tool with a blank patchbay which will update as you start configuring your layout.



It's easy to group and colour-code channels. Let's start by selecting a colour for our channel group. You'll see it update on the blank patchbay above.


Now that your channels are linked, enter the name of your equipment. The text will be centred on your grouping and will be either black or white to provide contrast. Again, you'll see it update in real time on the patchbay preview.


Continue filling your output and input channels. The preview image updates with each change you make. What you see on screen will closely match the printed product that you'll receive when you order from us.


Our patch bay labels are made from high-quality vinyl and printed using non-solvent latex inks on professional printing and finishing equipment. Your new label will be scratch and water resistant and cut to perfectly fit your audio equipment.


CommScope leads the way in integrating Central Office (CO) and data center innovations. Drawing from our extensive legacy in fiber optics, Hybrid Fiber-Coaxial (HFC), and copper networks, which span telecoms, cable TV providers, and wireless networks, we provide transformative solutions that enhance operational efficiency.


CommScope has collaborated with DYMO, a brand of RHINO Professional Labeling Tools and part of Newell Rubbermaid, to support the development and distribution of pre-formatted electronic templates, making the labeling of structured cabling systems easier and more efficient for installers. The new templates are compatible with the RHINO 6000 and RHINO 6500 label printers only. The electronic templates can be downloaded free of charge from the resource section of DYMO's website, and imported into RHINO CONNECT software. Label information can then be entered into the template either manually or directly from a Windows-based PC application and then printed onto labels that specifically fit CommScope structured cabling components.


CommScope has partnered with Silver Fox to utilize labeling software, label sheets and templates. The templates and functionality are specifically geared to CommScope NETCONNECT products such as patch panels, wiring/connector blocks, outlets/faceplates, and cable/patch cord labels.


The below files are Siemon Company product label identification templates. These files are all in Microsoft Excel format and are available for you to download. Simply click on the file of interest, save it to your hard drive and then open the file in Microsoft Excel. Once opened, you can edit the template to meet your labeling identification needs.


Important Note:

Due to variations in printer hardware and software configurations, these label templates may not be compatible with all software systems. These files were developed in Microsoft Excel V7.0a and some modifications may be necessary to properly align these files with the associated Siemon label sheets. Alignment may include adjustment of printer margins, font selection or alteration of cell dimensions (width, height). It is strongly recommended to practice on blank paper using the label sheets as guidelines to verify functionality and determine if any modification is required. If you have any questions please e-mail our Technical Support Department.
