Hi;
Both the Heat Shrink and the IND Flexible Nylon labels are UV rated
(according to the Dymo specs).
Industrial-strength tear-proof adhesive resists moisture, extreme
temperatures, UV light and more so labels won't curl or fall off
- UL recognized as a component to UL 969

However, I have used both the 18mm & 24mm, Black on White versions, and
they did fade to almost 'invisible'. Not sure if the colours matter for
better longevity results.

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

Hi;
I have found the same issue. The Dymo Rhino labels (vinyl series),
don't stay as long as the Brother TZ-Ez (flexible) series. What I
tend
to do now is to place the labels at multiple points on the cables
that
is exposed to the sun. I use labels from both manufacturers on
the same
cable.
Masking tape and a Sharpie holds up well. So we label with this
during
installation and use the electronic labels (Brother and Dymo
Rhino) for
pretty.
Really disappointed with the Rhino series however. They really
fade and
sometimes they tend to peel (doesn't stay wrapped securely around the
cable). The writings almost entirely not legible. For indoor use
they
do a better job.
Note, I have only used the Black on White labels. Not sure how the
other colours will stay legible for the extended periods of time
exposed
to the outdoor elements.
Looks like we now have to plan to do a regular maintenance
exercise to
re-label the cables every couple years (or 18-months or so).
If anyone finds or has suggestion for a good UV rated label system
(either with Brother / Dymo) would really be great.
