Not exactly networking but figured this might be the best forum to ask since there's lot of labeling that goes on in networking.
For cables that are small, like USB cables, or even smaller, like telecom wire (Ex: for a home automation system, going to DIN rails etc) what is the best way to label them?
I use these: http://www.monoprice.com/Product?c_id=105&cp_id=10520&cs_id=1052001&p_id=5791&seq=1&format=2
But I find for small cables they really don't work very well, often they break if I try to pull them tight as the radius the zip tie is turning is too small.
Short of just sticking the label right on the cable and hoping it does not fall off, which it probably will, is there a better system for labeling cables? These ties work fine for ethernet but anything thinner, not so much.
