Labeling cables...

2003-08-11 by Stephanie Ellison

Just got an idea here!

Stephen (was that you?), I have an idea on how you can label the pad input 
cables neatly.  You'll need a labelmaker (the one with a handle and a round 
thing that takes that plastic tape and you click out letters and such) and a 
soldering iron with a clean, non-oxidized tip.

Make the labels long enough to overlap a bit on the ends.  Once you've done 
that and you have the labels on currectly, carefully melt the overlap and the 
underlap together carefully.  They shouldn't come apart that way.  

I bought a set of 5 different colors of tape, so that they are color-coded for 
finding both ends and numbered so that you can quickly plug the cable into 
the right input jack.

Stephanie with an idea...
