I haven't personally purchased any, I've just seen them in a data center. It does appear that Panduit is the predominant supplier of these.

I personally think these are the way to go. Foam sleeve around the fiber, label around the foam.

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.
