What about labeling the cables? My rack's nodes' ethernet and power
cables are marked with the node's name at each end. It was a low tech
approach involving printing names, cutting paper into strips with
scissors, and taping them on. There are other types of label, many
based on modified zip ties, but they still have to be applied by hand.
White shrink tube works very well. Is secure, and does not project or
snag on things.
One may pre-write it.
Only downside is it has to be slipped over an end, so one has to pull
the end out of a socket to apply.
I did this years ago when I was making all my cat5 cables (be the first
kid on YOUR block with all 100BaseT connections...) but that's been a
long time. Self laminating labels work pretty well, and Brady has
several types to choose from. If you have the connectors already on the
cables, I don't see this as a self-starter.
