I also end up cursing at it because the printing on the labels is light or 
skips.  Then I put in a new roll of labels and it’s fine for awhile.

 

Apparently the labels have a shelf life once the package is opened.  I don’t 
know if it’s temperature or they dry out or what.  I should try taking the roll 
out between uses and putting it in a Ziploc bag or something.  Maybe if you use 
yours a lot and go through labels faster this is not a problem.

 

It’s a bit frustrating because the Brother TZ labels are also thermal transfer 
and they don’t exhibit this problem at all.

I have used the Dymo Rhino for years.  The only issue that I have had with it 
is it will die permanently if you leave it in the truck in the winter and then 
try to use it while it is frozen.  We only label wires inside the boxes.  I 
have seen them start to peel from heat after a few years, but they are still 
completely legible.  I usually take a small strip of packing tape and go around 
the label and then it stays forever.

Hi Matt;

I use either the 19mm (3/4in) and the 24mm (1in) sizes for the Dymo flexible 
series.  Depends how you want to wrap the cable.  But both sizes work well for 
CAT5 cable (outdoor, STP and UTP).  

The amount of info you wish to be printed will dictate the size.  I found the 
smaller fonts don't print well on the Dymo RHINO series.  For the Brother TZ 
tapes, the 24mm and 18mm are the equivalent sizes that work well with the CAT5 
cables.

If you wrap in portrait mode. Either size will work.  If you wrap in landscape 
mode, (need more characters to display), the 24mm will work better.  As it will 
fold around the cable (and possibly overlap) fully.

In either case, the flexible series is better for the CAT5 cables.

>>>Choose from 1/4", 3/8", 1/2", 3/4" and 1" label widths  

 

What size do you need for outdoor shielded cat-5?
