I was pleased to find out that Charles also likes to label things just like I do.

Hi John,

Just wondering if you label any of your pre-terminated cables and if so, what technique you find works best ?

I tend to find that the Dymo Rhino nylon type labels still tend to unpeel when used on cables around 6mm diameter or less. The 3M style write-on labels with clear plastic window tend to stay on ok but the ink tends to bleed into the adhesive after 6-12months. Cable tie solutions tend to snag when coiling the cable up after use. Heatshrink is not suitable as the shrink ratios are not great enough to get over larger connectors such as XLR and IEC.
