I'm curious about how people label 2mm and 3mm patch cables (or 900um
for that matter).
After a lot of evolution through labels that like to fall off or get in
the way, our current method is to cut a section of plastic drinking
straw a little longer than the labels. Slit the straw lengthwise. Then
wrap that straw onto the cable and wrap a self laminating label around
the straw. The straw piece can slide around to wherever you need it to
be visible, or to move it out of the way if it'll snag something. The
straw also gives some extra diameter so the label can go on lengthwise
and still be readable. The outcome is very nice, but it's time consuming.
What other methods do we like?
I haven't tried heat shrink labels, but I'm assuming you can't get
tubing big enough to pass an SC connector that will shrink onto a 2mm
cable. Maybe I'm wrong.
