[SML] Speaking of bundling data cables....

[Joe Golden]

I have both a Rhino and a BMP21-plus.  Both are great but for different uses. I have not tried "normal" tape on Cat5/6 cables yet. When you can the heartstrings is the way to go.Still trying to pick a label type for most uses. What's your favorite label type?Joe GoldenGallagher Staging657-529-3132951-264-8401Sent from my Android device. Please excuse my brevity and typos.

My Brady labeler & labels work just fine on Cat5/6 cables. Both the heat-shrink and the adhesive labels do the job, although I'm Willing to stipulate the cost of admission may give you some pause.FWIW I use Brady's BMP21-Plus. I'll never go back to Dymo.DVOn Sat, Jun 5, 2021 at 12:44 PM Jon Ares via Stagecraft <stagecraft at theatrical.net> wrote:Good ideas.  I should have mentioned that I don't want flags on the cables. And shrink tubing doesn't work if the cables are already terminated, which mine are.  - JonOn Sat, Jun 5, 2021 at 9:39 AM Jerry Durand via Stagecraft <stagecraft at theatrical.net> wrote:
  
    
  
  
    make extra long labels and wrap the cable so the label sticks to
    itself.
    
    1) even better if the label has a clear tail
    
    
    2) not ideal but works
    
    
    
    3) zip-tie on labels

      A minor tangent.  Any recommendations on labels//labeler material that
sticks/lasts longer on CAT 6 cables?  I'm finding my Dymo/Rhino labels
are not sticking on newer CAT 6 and DMX cables... they must be
jacketed in some type of plastic that's more resistant to goo, or
something.

I've got a Rhino and a Dymo that use the same cartridge, and the
facility also has a P-Touch that most likely uses a different
cartridge... and the labels stick just fine to most things, but not my
newer CAT 6 and DMX cables.  I like to label them both for use (DMX)
and length.
