DIY Cable Labels - Custom Design Your Own Network Cable Labels

[@Lenticular67]

Nice! Labeling cables is a must, especially if you have a lot of devices to use.

[@BeatriceLartey-o2e]

thanks for this video. You are very creative

[@davinozen]

You should get a Ethernet cable tester. Saves a ton of time and comes in more handy than you think. Gonna steal your label trick!

[@paulgriffin8566]

I am going through the very same dilema at the moment, trying to find decent labels to put on the myriad of cables I have in my network cupboard. Your DIY solution is fantastic. Many thanks for sharing.

[@asfandyarkakar9898]

Wow Sir, creating labels in photoshop is so satisfying. thumbsup

[@junipersprites2167]

Thank you!! I've been trying to come up with cable management strategies in our home. Too often, we end up with "doom boxes" of old cables in which I have no idea what they belong to. This is a great way to know at a glance what it does!

[@computersales]

Only thing I don't like is the lack of flexibility in the label and the adhesive will fail over time. I wonder how well they have held up?

[@TheJjtea]

Thank you so much for this video. I am going to try it out.

[@kittsdiy]

Nice looking ..tryed this method also .. packing tape will not stick for years ..because of temperature . especially in a cabinet with server/switches .. so not goed for long run .. you will have renew them sometimes or add new layer of clear tape ..

[@crooker2]

Packing tape. Interesting. I've tried this same thing with scotch tape but found that over time, the tape would just come loose and peel off. But maybe the packing tape has a more robust adhesive side.

My ocd likes yours spacing of the cábeles on the switch

[@carbsncaffeine9254]

super cool

[@1floggedhorse]

Brilliant! But my experience tells me the glue on the tape will fail and the plastic tape will yellow and become brittle.... what tape to use? Is Scotch or 3M the quality key?

[@countyofwaldobelfastmaine8911]

how have these labels held up over time to heat, etc?

[@ShravanParthasarathy]

Thanks for the video. I just have a labelmaker sitting around to use for this kind of stuff, but the dang thing takes 6 AA batteries.

[@Maraksot78]

Nice! That's a lot of batteries though for one device! 😅

[@cpanic1153]

Why no patch panel? Those male terminated RJ45 cables without boots really sets off my OCD.

[@gaiusvalerius7115]

Woah! this is so helpful.

[@MarcoPatterson]

why not leave all cables plugged into netgear switch. none of them will light up unless your laptop in plugged into the room you are in. That will save you some steps. Also, why not get 2 people, one in that room with switch and other walk around each room with laptop. then have them keep track on what cables lights up when you move to each room. by the way good video

I just checked Amazon and can buy 800 wrap around labels for 23.00 they come in sheets of 30 or so and can be run through a lazer printer.

[@mrobvious1100]

Colored Cat6 connector boots.. 100 pieces for $9 gets you 10 colors with 10 each you can also just use electrical tape and then use a white permanent marker

[@sakalammalakas5658]

Try to use wire tracker next time to check the cable instead of connecting to network one by one sir

[@ZubairKhan-vs8fe]

At some point there will have to be a war to decide if the world is going to use inches or centimetres

[@austinreeves5221]

Who ever ran the cable should have labeled it

[@Maraksot78]

Yup, but they didnt; so I did. 😁

[@austinreeves5221]

[@prouddaddyofdos]
