    Cable labelling

    With the IDPal, I use the 3/4" white cloth (PAL-750-499) cartridges. This seems to provide a reasonable number of characters in a medium font for cable wrapping. To further confuse you, it is a "nylon" cloth, so the appearance is a smooth, matte surface. I've used vinyl in other label...

    Cable labelling

    I use a Brady IDPal. Works great for cables, but cartridges can be hard to find other than online. Not really a problem, as we stock up whenever we get down to 2-3 cartridges. Plus, I hear Fastenal carries brady supplies now. In general, I think most of the current handhelds perform about...

    Phonel Line DSL Sharing

    If anyone is a moron here, it's your so-called "Network Admin". So, if I'm understanding correctly, he's installed a router and switch in the telecom room, or some other central location. He's then taken 2 pairs from each phone line to the units and is running data over those. This is a...
