Ken,
I tried to watch their video to see how that works, I am not
sure if it’s still flat tape that you stick to itself then shrink it or a tube
like we are used to? I had the same concern you did about making sure it’s on
any cable prior to termination. Being able to wrap it around a cable then
shrinking makes more sense. Justin, how does the heat shrink labeler work in
that regard?
Thank you,
Brian Webster

Heat shrink would require that I label them before crimping the plug on the
end, and I am not that organized.
Unless the shrink ratio is such that you can slip the label over the plug.
Even so, I am often labeling cables that are already plugged in. And if the
objective is to label the cables outdoors in the middle of the cable somewhere,
I don’t see how you use tubing. At that point I’d go with colored electrical
tape or those ziptie tags that you write on with a Sharpie.
I have some enclosures with a chart taped inside the door with stuff like AP1
north – 1 blue, AP2 east – 2 blue, 11 GHz backhaul – 1 orange. The cables have
RHINO flexible nylon labels inside the enclosure, but outdoors just the tape we
used to label the cables while pulling them.

I use the heat shrink stock for the rhinos. They are UV listed.

What size do you need for outdoor shielded cat-5?
