Re: [DTXpress] Labeling cables...

2003-08-11 by Vernon Graner

I use these:

http://www.radioshack.com/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=CTLG&category%5Fname=CTLG%5F011%5F010%5F008%5F001&product%5Fid=278%2D1616

Go to Radioshcak.com and search for catalog # 278-1616

These are little stick-on labels that you write on with a fine-point
sharpie and they look *very* pro and have proven to be very durable since
they don't stick to get in the way or get torn off.

You peel it, start to wrap the cable, write the text, then wrap the rest
of the way. It's kinda like a 4 inch pice of very strong tape with the
first inch opaque white and the rest is clear, so you wrap the white
part, write the text and then cover it with the remaining clear tape to
protect it. The ones I have haven't gotten "gummy" yet and it's been
about a year.. YMMV :)
