Re: [Elecraft] Wire labeling - slightly OT

Ron, My P-Touch Label printer works fine for me. You can get wire labels at an electrical supply house - letters A-Z or numbers - they wrap around the cable without sticking out, then make yourself a chart of which goes where. 73, Don W3FPR On 9/8/2015 2:27 PM, Ron W3ZV wrote: I am bound

Re: [Elecraft] Wire labeling - slightly OT

If you have enough inside diameter to slide a piece of clear heat shrink tubing over the cable end, printing out a label on your computer and then shrinking the tubing over over it looks nice/professional and stays in place. I've also seen tie wrap tags used on cabling here and there. 73 es

Re: [Elecraft] Wire labeling - slightly OT

I like Panduit write-on labels. It's clear vinyl adhesive tape with a white section you can write on. After marking it (fine point Sharpie works well), you pull the piece out of the dispenser, stick it on the cable and wrap it around so that it 'self laminates.'

Re: [Elecraft] Wire labeling - slightly OT

If you have a laminator, print out a sheet with all the labels you need, laminate the sheet, cut out the labels and fasten to the cable with small zip ties or tie wraps.. Or you could do the same with a plastic report cover like used with comb binding and a fine tip permanent marker. David

Re: [Elecraft] Wire labeling - slightly OT

Hi, I have had trouble with the Brother P-touch labels delaminating after a short time, and they don't seem to last outdoors at all. I switched to the 3M label maker, which I believe is a re-branded Brother but I'm not sure of the cartridge compatibility:

Re: [Elecraft] Wire labeling - slightly OT (Ron W3ZV

If you go the Brother P-touch route be sure you have a label maker that is compatible with the Brother "TZ Flexible ID" tape.  It is supposed be a special tape just for coax.  Their regular and lower end tapes such as  the "M" line have trouble adhering to coax/wire insulation and will fall off

Re: [Elecraft] Wire labeling - slightly OT

P-Touch. No doubt. I even keep a small one in the RV. Spend $10 more and get the version with a USB port for easier font changes, artwork etc. Costco, also carries some tape but an office supply store has more variety (sizes, colors). As the sight faded, larger tape (or multiple lines) is

Re: [Elecraft] Wire labeling - slightly OT

For many years I have used various color combinations of plastic cable ties - and a 3x5 card pinned to the back of the radio desk indicating what colors are what. Why this method? I used what was on hand at the time I first started to label wires and have continued. For example: red/red or
