I just write on the cable itself with a fine marker pen, it seems to
last pretty well on normal T&E (either white or grey).


Seconded - I've done that for most of the AC wiring in the house as
I've been tracing things out; I suspect it'll survive pretty well.

In the UK I used to just stick small paper labels to the plugs with
plain ol' sellotape - they were all still going strong after nearly
ten years.

Unfortunately, over a long term Sellotape adhesive dries out and the
becomes brown. I've got several archival documents that have been
runied that way


It also loses adhesion.
