Awesome product.
I live in fear that someday I'll have to disconnect all of the cables attached to two routers, a cable modem and an Ooma Voip system. I'm sure I'd eventually figure out where everything went again but labeling everything beforehand made sense to me. I tried a few different ways to accomplish this task. I got a Sharpie and wrote on the cable where it went. An acceptable solution except some of the cables are too narrow to write anything legible and some are a very dark gray. My second solution was to attach paper labels to each cable. This seemed like the perfect solution until two days later they started coming off. So the search was on!
When I saw this product on Amazon I wasn't sure about it. But, now that I have it I love the labels. The labels itself (the white part) is about 1 1/2 inches long and 3/8 inches high. This doesn't give you a lot of room to write anything but if you abbreviate you can make it work. I just call one of my routers R1 and the other R2, so "R1 In" means exactly what it sounds like. Ditto for the modem ("M"), etc. I ordered two packs for a total of 20 labels so I had enough to also label the power cords plugged into my UPS. Now think about this, the cables going into the modem and the routers are fairly thin and the power cords by comparison are fairly thick. Because you can adjust the diameter of the label everything fits nicely.
Note - Kableflags sells the blanks that I used but they also have preprinted labels. Make sure you order the one you need.
Highly recommended for a good night's sleep.

Still looking for perfect cord label

These work pretty good, but you will probably have to try several brands before finding what will work best for your needs. I got these to use on my aquarium cords. They are kind of ugly, but doesn't really matter if out of view behind an aquarium stand or piece of furniture.Be careful what kind of marker you use, or the writing will bleed. I used a Sharpie black marker. Any other color I used bled/smeared. I prefer the kind of labels that stick around the cord like tape, but they tend to leave sticky residue, which these do not. I agree with another reviewer, that these tend to migrate down the cord, or swivel on the cord and face the wrong way. So they are better on cords that don't get moved much.
