Does anyone know where I can get some small labels made for some coaxial

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.

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.

I'm wondering about the lifespan of paper labels. I suppose the laser print
will not fade as easily as color jet print, but I'm thinking the label
itself doesn't hold up well over time. Perhaps sealing it under shrink
tubing helps with this. I was hoping to find someone who makes these in
some sort of plastic, teflon, etc. The one I replace on this R390A is
probably over 30 years old and still very clear.
