how to label existing cables?

[hollywood_steve]

I've had the thrill of building two good sized patchbays from scratch
over the past couple of years, so I've gotten pretty good at labelling
raw cable with those pre-printed adhesive characters specifically made
for labelling cable and then a piece of clear heat shrink tubing. The
result is durable and easy to read; but it only works when you have
raw wire without connectors already installed. I just installed the
permanent cabling in my new studio (all pre-fabricated by AVCables,
HIGHLY recommended, and very inexpensive) and I'm completely stumped
at how to label cables that already have connectors at both ends. I
could use the pre-printed adhesive labels, but they really work best
when covered by heat shrink tubing. And that's the problem, no way to
get the tubing on terminated cables. How do you guys label "finished"
cables?

thanks.
