Network cable heat shrink labels

Anyone have one of these printers? I want to label some things in my network cabinet and only need 10 or so printed.

 

Interesting idea.
Only problem is that my cables run vertical (up) into my switch.

 

I have a pretty good label tape printer at the office. That's what I've used at this point but the label adhesive doesn't like the cat5/6 very much and they keep peeling off. Will give the straw trick a try. Thanks guys

 

I knew I'd get pro tips from monkeys. Might try all ideas and see what looks the neatest.

 

Is the heat shrink large enough to go over the RJ45 ends or would I need to cut and re-terminate?

 

Next house I build will have 2" conduit in the walls with lots of string

 

BT made a comment about a 3GB limit on his ISP plan yesterday. Here's my stats since last switch restart 35 hours ago: It's interesting that I used to see (too high) packet errors until I upgraded all of my patch cables to Cat6 STP (properly grounded).

 

If you need some professional done labels.... shoot me an excel list of the cable numbers and I will get them made for you

 

You guys are serious! I like it. I might actually look at some clear shrink wrap, now. I've been using Post-It flags in assorted colors because I like color designation due to its rapid ID features, plus I use a foreign language, usually Hebrew. It's not pretty since I hand write the labels, but the less information I can give to the "enemy", the better.

 

Looks great with individual cable test reports. I tested all of mine with a Klein tester and did find one that failed although I'm not sure if this tests noise and shielding or just proper pinning. Might look into Blue Jeans next time I'm re-working my system.

 

We routinely run into IT guys complaining that their Cat6 cable plant is not working right. In the end 99% of the time, they opted to buy their own patch cords, due to our prices on our proposals.... and ended up buying Chinese knock off patch cords with barely enough copper to pass Cat3 standards, let alone Cat6!! These Chinese patch cords have messed up many a network, that we get to fix at a premium!!!

 

Might need to send you an order for some US made and certified patch cables YD. These are working so far but are probably Chinese.

 

Anytime, I have plenty of whatever and if I don't have it..... I can get them quick.

 

I was seeing 10% packet loss to one of my devices and couldn't figure out the problem. Swapped the cord with a fresh 6a STP and the issues disappeared. I so wish I could route new cables in my walls. Next house

 

Business justified excuse to come over this way.
