Ron,
My P-Touch Label printer works fine for me.
You can get wire labels at an electrical supply house - letters A-Z or
numbers - they wrap around the cable without sticking out, then make
yourself a chart of which goes where.

If you have enough inside diameter to slide a piece of clear heat shrink
tubing over the cable end, printing out a label on your computer and then
shrinking the tubing over over it looks nice/professional and stays in place.
I've also seen tie wrap tags used on cabling here and there.
73 es GL,
I have have TyWraps (SP?) with tabs to write on that are about .5 x 1".

If you have a laminator, print out a sheet with all the labels you need,
laminate the sheet, cut out the labels and fasten to the cable with small zip
ties or tie wraps..
Or you could do the same with a plastic report cover like used with comb
binding and a fine tip permanent marker.

I like Panduit write-on labels. It's clear vinyl adhesive tape with a
white section you can write on. After marking it (fine point Sharpie
works well), you pull the piece out of the dispenser, stick it on the
cable and wrap it around so that it 'self laminates.'

Hi,
I have had trouble with the Brother P-touch labels delaminating after
a short time, and they don't seem to last outdoors at all. I switched
to the 3M label maker, which I believe is a re-branded Brother but I'm
not sure of the cartridge compatibility:

Spend $10 more and get the version with a USB port for easier font changes,
artwork etc.

For many years I have used various color combinations of plastic cable
ties - and a 3x5 card pinned to the back of the radio desk indicating
what colors are what.
Why this method? I used what was on hand at the time I first started to
label wires and have continued. For example: red/red or red

If you go the Brother P-touch route be sure you have a label maker that is
compatible with the Brother "TZ Flexible ID" tape. It is supposed be a special
tape just for coax. Their regular and lower end tapes such as the "M" line
have trouble adhering to coax/wire insulation and will fall off
