Pro tip: you can use the plastic tabs from bread bags as little wire tags
Additional Pro Tip: Colored Zip Ties
Good tip though 👍
Zip ties are too small to write on.
I do lighting design in small theaters & have a fair amount of my own gear. I have a ton of 3-pin, 4-pin, and 5-pin XLR cables, and also some adapters that convert between 3&5 pin. I use colored zip ties on the ends of each cable to not only tell me what type of cable it is but to distinguish my cables from the theaters cables.
By taste.
Fun fact: A skilled linesman can use their tongue to tell the difference between 9V DC and 115kV AC.
