Hello,
I did a search for cable labelling printers and saw a couple of models in this forum. I saw a lot of ads for Rhino Cable labeler. Has anyone used this ? I also saw references to Panduit (LS7). The other models referred to webpages that aren't in service anymore. I'm currently using a Home Office P-Touch to label patch panels and jacks but they don't work well around cables. I usually use a bit a clear tape over the P-Touch labels but it doesn't look very professional. I want to buy a machine that will print on labels that stick well (permanently) onto cables. My company doesn't do a lot of cabling, we are mostly IT support for SMBs but when I go onto a job site for new customers, I usually do an overhaul or at least clean up the server room, patch cords and the such just to figure out the mess left by the previous IT company. Most of the time, just by the looks of the server room, I know how well the previous IT company took care of their network. It's not always their fault but I like to work in a clean and organized area. It also helps when I need to troubleshoot a problem with the client over the phone. It's much easier to say, disconnect the cabled labelled xxx and blah blah then just follow the cable from the white box that's written CSU/DSU which might be blue, gree or yellow ... What do you guys use other than P-Touch and/or Sharpie on masking tape ?
thanks
