Default Small Coaxial Cable Labels?

Barry wrote:
Does anyone know where I can get some small labels made for some coaxial
cables? Specifically, I'm looking for something that will wrap around a
0.085" OD coax. I'm thinking these are made somewhere, but not sure where
to look.

I'm restoring some of the interconnecting cables in an R390A and not sure if
I can fit the old, metal ones back onto the new coax. One of them had a
yellow label that slipped off the old coax rather easily. I slipped it on
the new coax and secured it with some clear heat-shrink tubing. I'd like to
do the same for the other cables.

Thanks,

I just make some paper labels using my word processor program, and print them on
my laser printer. I wrap them around the wire, and slip a piece of clear heat
shrink tubing over the label.

Note, pick a font that is readable on the size wire you are labeling.
