Get one of these


Thanks, will be useful for labeling all the house TV coax, cat-5, and
security system cabling! Security system alone is daunting with 8
cameras and 20+ individual lines. Today is easy, but working a month
from now is not so easy - can't remember what is what.

For the light switches that still leaves three problems.
1. Doesn't look very elegant.
2. How to name them and still know what the labels mean
3. This is a bit more difficult to overcome, adhesives don't stick
well, or long, here. Could seal with clear coat of something, but now
we're talking the first time the switch panels get cleaned, ALL that
comes off, single wipe.


Btw You can also pick one color for security, one color for network
and one color for CATV.

You can also take a photo of your switch plates and then type on the
photo the location of the switch and the label you want etched.
(mspaint will do)

Or you can just write the info on the back of the cover when you take
them off. (sharpie)
