non-smearing marker pen

[shanky887614]

what brand do you use to mark your cables before you pull them through?

the one ive got at the moment is rubish and gets worn off by the other end of the run

i just use a normal permanat marker, allowing a few seconds for it dry before doing anything with the cable. Although LSF cable is virtually impossible to mark up. So use insulation tape and write on that.

I use a CD labeling pen - nib is not too fat and seems not to rub off

Another for the sharpie, still using the freebies from the last Elexshow I went to.

i use cutters,1 snip cable 1, 2 snips cable 2 etc..using a pen you do end up with smudged numbers which could be anything.

Same as either a terminal screwdriver or a biro pen

 

[redcbr]

Same as Alarm Man, I just mark each cable with a score mark, 1 score for cable 1 2 scores for cable 2 etc. Doesn't rub off either.

i also use the "nick" method if i think marking will rub off.
