Rich,
There are a number of wire marking scheams from tags to Label maker . I use
the label maker for my all my hardline 13 runs and also for the RG213/214 .
theses are all inside WX boxes not exposed to the weather/Sun. for all inside
distabution of the RG400 I use a phase color code system .
I use the 3 M color code system for each tower then a breakdown example my
15 meter tower is GREEN each beam is Green and then ¼ green stripes for the
three antennas. And Green and one stipe blue for the 160 delta look on the
tower.
For control line I use rotor. Phase box 4sq. ect I have a BIBLE with the line
color to the tower and then a 3-M wire marking kit which is numbers. ( number
work better for me because not all cables manufactures have the same # of wire
or color scheam.

Subject: Re: [TowerTalk] Marking cables for identification
Rich,
In my professional life I deal with control cables and the like. Several
different marking systems out there. Bear in mind, my cables are rarely
exposed to water or sun, if at all. Half are exposed to temperature (outdoor).
Google is your friend. Search for "cable markers" or other such descriptions
and see what you like.
