Hey Jaime, what is the best labelmaker out there for wires? I see you use heatshrink labels for power wiring, but for Cat5 and coax I would want wraparound, it’s not practical to label the Cat5 and then terminate it.
I think we’ve had this discussion on the list before, but I look up reviews on the recommended ones and see complaints. I think people have recommended Rhino, and I’ve seen some from T&B. I’m wondering if the Panduit ones are worth the price. Availability of labels is also a consideration. I see many types of labels made from different materials, for different temperature ranges, even some that wrap around and stick to themselves but are loose on the wires.

They also specified PCTel antennas which I dislike. It is a bitch to weather proof connector neatly. Many on the list know we are very anal about how we install. Form Fit and Function. It's our signature. in a competitive market it is definitely an advantage to put our best foot forward and let out work speak for us. Its not aesthetics ...its easy access and organization for others to understand once a project is turned over to the client. Water is like gold around here and water spills are expensive so having a neat RTU is paramount for troubleshooting or replacing components. Its make good business sense to do it right.

Be happy they didn’t specify coax hangers.
