I can fit the old, metal ones back onto the new coax.

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.

Hmmm. I may have to try that. Thanks for the tip.

If you are worried about longevity, then don't go with the sharpie pen.
It uses an organic ink that fades, wipes off with cleaners...
