FAQ

Can this work for a TV shelf?

Yes. Rename desk to media shelf and keep device, port, and power notes clear.

What is the most important field?

Destination is usually the most useful field: which device, port, outlet, or bundle the cable belongs to.

What should be handled carefully?

Shared equipment, power strips, network cables, drives, and workplace assets need extra confirmation.
