DIY Cable Tags
2010 January 13
Start of a New Year. Time to get organized. How about labeling all the power cords and data cables under the desks? I have looked at many different cable tag products out there, but non of them are very good. Looking thru my parts drawer I realized that all I need is to tie a key tag to a cable using a cable tie.
And we have a cheap and very usable cable tag!
Cable ties and key tags are cheap and easy to find. Try Staples, Micro Center, or Amazon:

Better still, why not try a new Aussie product … Stick’nGo Cable Labels. They wrap around and lock-on to computer and portable device cables in an instant and are available in 4 different colors. You can record the device name on one side and your contact details on the other. Just perfect for identifying each family member’s cables and great for traveling – no cable confusion!
Great idea, and a little bit nicer looking than just having a piece of tape stuck to each cable. You can also get plastic key tags that are a little more durable (especially if you have cables shoved into a drawer).
