DIY Cable Tags

by pk on January 13, 2010

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.

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!
