If you're making new cables, you can do what I do to ID cables.
I buy shrink tubing of the appropriate size, and prior to shrinking
it over the cable write on the tubing with a Fine point Sharpie.
The lettering shrinks along with the tubing and looks ok when
finished.

Microdyne still had the blanks and printer for the Mil spec heat
shrink cable markers when they shut down the local plant. They no longer
used it, and I don't know what happened to it, but I would like to have
it in the shop.
