Small Coaxial Cable Labels?

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, Barry - N4BUQ 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. -Chuck Harris 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. Barry - N4BUQ You old farts planning to live that long?? grin Gizmotski. |
