I'm surprised no one uses those white slide on tags as used in panels,

When I was redoing the lighting in a house for home-automation
(all lighting points and switch cables run to a central wiring
point, a bit like cat5 cabling), I found biro writes very nicely
on white PVC sheath, and labelled all the wires that way.

And a 10p Biro does thousands of cables. :-)
