Flag style labels (like those mentioned earlier in the thread): https://www.uline.com/BL_3202/Identification-Ties A newer more expensive solution is Dotz, which I have no first hand experience with. It looks like their cord-id-pro may prevent some of the snagging that might occur with the zip tie style labels, and they may even be reusable which would be great. http://cordotz.com/products/identify/cord-id-pro A minimal approach is to go with self-laminating wire markers like those from 3M or NSI. These are typically found on some of the smaller diameter cables used in networking and ham radio, and can be useful in situations where you may need to pull cables in the future. https://www.uline.com/BL_6480/3M-Wire-Marker For smaller jobs the write-on wire markers should work: https://www.uline.com/Product/Detail/H-2629/Label-Dispensers/3M-SLS-Write-O= n-Wire-Marker%20Dispenser For larger jobs a label printer like a brady or a brother can be handy. One of the most important things is buying tape that has quality adhesive - nothing worse than having to redo all your work after the labels have fallen off. -Ben On Sat, Dec 22, 2018 at 5:14 PM Jimmy Moore <xxxxxxxxx@xxxxx.xxx> wrote: > > Added bonus, I snake my wires in beneath my eurorack case so this will pr= event them from being pulled off the table. > > On Sat, Dec 22, 2018 at 6:00 PM Chris Lehfeldt <xxxxxxxxx@xxxxx.xxx> wrot= e: >> >> Oh added bonus.
