Lol! I am very dextrous... But I prep by pulling off many pieces of tape at once and lining them up in advance. They don't need to go on perfectly. In fact, a few wrinkles help to keep the padding in place better than no wrinkles. Put a wire around the roll of tape and connect it to a small carabi

The only problem I’ve had with those is that they tend to slide down the fiber and you can end up having to trace the fiber to find the label which sort of defeats the purpose. Owen > On Mar 13, 2016, at 18:33 , Nick Pratley > wrote: > > Hi Baldur, > > Equinix in Sydney use the below, for C

Hi Baldur, Equinix in Sydney use the below, for Cross Connects. Goes around the fiber to pad it out, and the label keeps it on the fiber. http://www.cableorganizer.com/panduit/labelcore-cable-id-sleeve/ Been meaning to order some for internal use, too. Nick
