DYMO Rhino Industrial Heat-Shrink Labels - 1/4" Tube Size, Black Print on White - Perfect for Cable Identification, Wire Marking & Industrial Labeling

Okay, so these shrink tube labels are super expensive. I'm going to ignore that because there really isn't another solution that I am aware of that provides this kind of solution in such an elegant and clean way. I purchased the 1" labels because most of the cables that I want to label have connectors on the ends, such as Ethernet and various audio cables.I admit it. I'm OCD. I love having things organized and there is no better way to organize your cables than with these labels. I have a ton of cables in my home office. I'm also in a rock band (I use both the terms "rock" and "band" loosely). I am able to label ALL of my cables with these labels. 1/4" TS and TRS cables are a cinch. All of my Ethernet cables have been no problem so far, even ones with boots on them. (Contrary to other reviews, I believe the 1" labels will work on any Ethernet connection. Perhaps the other reviewers were using smaller labels.)What about XLR cables, you ask? What about other cables with larger connectors on the ends, you ask? I have your solution! I have terrible handwriting and didn't want to use labels that could peel off. So, I found that by using another product in conjunction with these, it is the perfect hybrid approach for larger cables!Get yourself some of these... Monoprice Marker Cable Tie 4 inch 18LBS, 100pcs/Pack - WhiteCheck out the photos below for the steps. Basically, cut a small notch at the top and bottom of the shrink tube. Insert the Marker Cable Tie as shown. Shrink the tube, trim the ends of the tube, then attach the zip tie to the cable. It's a great, permanent way to neatly label any cable regardless of how thick the cable or the size of the connectors on the ends.Hope this helps!
