I've got too many wires in my life. Among them are the cooked spaghetti-like ones that were behind the entertainment center. Which is the power, audio, video, usb, etc. to which device? I got sick of it and bought these labels.What I did wrong: I paid no attention to what turned out to be adhesive labels for printing OR the instructions. Heck, I know how to use zip ties! So I wrote directly on the labels and put them on each end of a cable/wire with a proper notation as to where each end went. I did it a cable/wire at a time. It looked BAD. I have the handwriting of a pre-schooler. Then I saw the labels and said to myself, "DUH!" After downloading a template and typing all of the label names in, I put the paper labels over my scribbling.If you like your handwriting, you can skip the downloading and write on the labels.How to do it right:Make a list of where each wire is attached. For the TV, I had connections from the TV to a router, a DVD player, a TIVO, and a ROKU, plus the power wire (which plugs at both ends, one to the TV and one to elect outlet). I added each device to the list.Now count the number of wires/cables that are attached to each device. For the TV, I had 5 things. I put 5 tick marks next to TV. One tick was put to the name of each of router, DVD, TIVO, ROKU. Power cords are handled as below.For each device the TV attaches to, put a tick mark next to it. For power cords, you can just put the name of the device it powers, so you'll now add another tick mark next to TV. All power cords will have the name of the device powered on the label at both ends.Now you can write/type the label names. Either hand write them or enter them in your word processor using the label template you downloaded.If you want labels for both sides or these zip tags, print the labels twice.Now, you can lay the plastic labels down on a surface, still attached to one another, neatly place a paper label on each one. (This is much better than trying to hold each plastic zip while it's already zipped to a wire/cable in order to put the paper label on.The only less than very acceptable thing the whole labeling situation brought to me was that the template I downloaded for Word had entries already on each of the 136 labels. The template has a second page of what looks like blank labels, but they are not set up to make entries into the label spaces. So I had to delete what was on the first page one at a time to keep the formatting for each label. And if you do use the template, remember that you can change the font size of the template -- it's tiny. I used the largest font size that would fit on either one line or two. Also used bold. Once you get one right, you can select the entry, hold Ctrl and press C. Then click in the next blank label and hold Ctrl and press V. That will paste the entry in. Continue to do that for each of the label names until you've got the number of labels for that device.When you print, make sure you have the proper page size set for your printer. My labels were A4 size, not letter size, so I set the printer to receive A4 paper. I centered the paper in the blank paper holder, and the things printed out without missing any label spaces.I hope this helps make your experience with these labels short and sweet!

Worked fine

We go group camping and kept losing my extension cords. Got these to put on my extension cords to identify whose they belong to. Work perfectly. Would buy again.

If you have lots of wires for electronics these are great to identify which wire is which.

They worked, but I wish they were a tad bit bigger. Also, the blue color is too dark, and using a fine black marker pen, it is hard to see the writing. I won't use that color anymore. Hopefully, they'll change the color to a lighter blue so all the labels can be used. Other than the size and color they worked for its intended use. The price was good which is why I purchased them & the small cable works well to tighten on the cords. Mine didn't have any labels in the package to adhere to the labels themselves which is why the blue was too dark a color to write on, green also on dark side, but I could see writing on that color better than the blue. I'll have to use a flashlight when working under the desk to see the writing.

These tags are great - easy to apply labels or in my case use a permanent marker. I strapped them on each cable end and wrote what and where it ran. The zip tie lines are easy to attach, tighten, and snip off the excess line with scissors. I ran all new cabling for internet and coaxial (TV) lines through my house during a recent remodel. These tags help me track what goes where including future runs through walls that were put in, just in case, I want to add devices later. Sure you can use wireless through a house, but our old home is brick and thick plaster with wire mesh. It was unintentionally built to block RF transmissions. Having both cable and internet lines to the main areas of the house ensures that every room will have excellent signal quality and/or cable TV boxes.

These markers are easy to label and give me a way to quickly identify the connections between my laptop, PC, peripheral and various chargers, all of which seem to have a unique plug. Until the US joins the EU where all portable devices must use the same connector to be charged, this is the best solution available to me.
