If I was going to label a fuse box, I'd do what I do when I label things. Use my Brother P-Touch. Easily one of the most useful purchases I have made in the past five years.

Of course it won't document a fusebox, but because I don't work with fuseboxes for a living and fuseboxes are not a hobby I am likely to take up, I can't see myself ever needing to do that enough times that finding a fusebox document would be easier than looking at a fusebox I already labeled.

I have documented the fusebox at home, but I just used some careful measuments, a Word tabel with a fixed width, and a few tries.

Have you considered adapting this to Ethernet switches?

They have a similar layout…

Labelling ports of managed switches seems kinda useful, though never seen it done. (I do it at home)

You normally want to document the actual links between switch ports rather than just static labelling. E.g visually https://react-networks-example-site.vercel.app/

It appears that "fuse box" is used as an anachronism here, as those most certainly look like circuit breakers, and I was expecting something more related to automotive fuse boxes.

Does this also support the normal north american vertical fusebox?
