When running cable on a tower I’ll label the box I’m pulling from and the tower end of the cable terminated. I’ll label before it’s terminated. I’ll need to see what size I’m using. It is just like heat shrink. It will fully encompass the cable. They work really well. I thought I had some pictures but cannot find them.
