I have been using a Brothers PT-2430PC (usb attached) and the TZeS251 1 inch wide tapes. Printed with 7 rows horizontal text and vertical tape, I can wrap around a cable on each end for nice organization and it sticks very well to itself. With the cutline creation, I can print off about 60 labels at a time this way and give a minon something to do for an hour :) -----Original Message----- From: Mike Lyon [mailto:mike.lyon () gmail com] Sent: Tuesday, August 21, 2012 7:47 PM To: Seth Mattinen Cc: nanog () nanog org Subject: Re: NANOG poll: favorite cable labeler? I bought the Brady BMP21 handheld labeler from Frys about a month ago. It takes 6x AA batteries i believe. You can buy the power cable and case for it if you want. I love it so far. -mike Sent from my iPhone On Aug 21, 2012, at 18:29, Seth Mattinen <sethm () rollernet us> wrote:

In the storage unit I have a Brady TLS2200. Supplies are expensive, but it works reasonably well. Unfortunately the battery is shot (gotta replace that). It seems to me that as cheap as the Brother P-Touch type labelers have gotten that there might be some product by (Brady|Dymo|Brother|etc) that everyone uses and recommends these days which is (a) cheap enough that they can be deployed en masse rather than treated as a scarce resource, (b) hopefully runs on standard (such as AAA) battery types, and (c) has reasonably priced supplies. Labeling cables is mostly what I'm interested in. The el-cheapo p-touch seems adequate to putting hostnames on machines. Thoughts?P-Touch with TZe tapes for me. I have stuff on the roof labeled with TZe tape and they still look new after about a year of exposure Disclaimer: I'm in the high desert. ~Seth
