I like the fast pull plan, but I'm probably going to be doing all the
termination by myself, so that involves alot of running back and forth.
I don't have that fancy of a toner, just a simple (and cheap) telco one,
which always seems to be able to narrow it down to about 4 cables in the
bundle that all tone equally. I like Chuck's Binary idea, maybe
vertical and horizontal lines with a sharpie.

I'm with Lewis on this one. We do bundle duplex/quad groups together,
but we don't worry about individual cables. We use the ID plugs and a
toner to figure out which one is which. Labels fall off, and markers
smear, especially when they're getting manhandled.

Honestly, we just pull them all and tone them after. Seems just as
fast. We have a Fluke cable tester that has 8 ID plugs and the probe
tells you which one you touch so you can do 8 at once. At least I
think that is how it works. Even if not toning is pretty fast way. We
put a guy on each end and start toning and punching each end as they go.

These are the ones I use on panels and end devices most of the

pull wire for us...once tested and certified, we make our heat

original ones. We reposition if necessary..

Sharpie works but is difficult to do well and rubs off.
You could use strips of tape and sharpie to do a binary code.
Tape, tape, sharpie, tape = 13

Subject: [AFMUG] Office Wire labeling
I'm getting ready to pull some Cat5 into an office space,
about 40 drops. What's the best way to label the cables
as they are pulled before they are dressed/punched.
Printing a label for each cable that's going to get cut
off as it's dressed into the patch panel seems wasteful.
Colored tape could work, but may get cumbersome with the
combinations. Is writing the drop number on the jacket
with a Sharpie the best way?
