feel kind of dumb asking this question .
anyone know of any component to cable stickers avail. for marking them easy for someone to figure out cable A plug's into slot a . like Hdmi cable marked 1 go into slot 1 on a DVD player .and cable 2 plugs into slot 2 on the same unit even do we all know its the power cord in slot 2. we have some old folks and not so old folks here. who are completely clueless if there electronic wires come loose . it drive my nuts and make it so much easier if we could add premade decals on there cables and the back of the items. tv's ,dvd players ,computers even small kitchen appliances that the plugs aren't hard wired in them . welcome to a 55 and older community handyman's nightmare's life.
we can only guess how much money the geek squad. makes off old folks rehooking up cables on old folks stuff . we been here just 4 years now in a 55 and older community now and at least 2-4 time a year. we get that type of service call .bad thing is im in a gated community . its really hard for me to charge them for a 2 min service call. we see why they have a flat rate min for a home visit. but its really hard for me to charge them when there neighbors. for bs call outs like this.
Yeah I would be interested in this also. In the back of my 70's stereo setup, I have so many cables because it's a quad setup. I have the receiver, the quad amp, turntable, quad converter, cassette deck, CD player, and reel to reel deck.
I also use a Brother P-Touch label maker for more descriptive labels. It has a cable flag mode where it prints the same thing on both ends of the label, and then you wrap it around the cable and stick it to itself. I own one of these which has served me well for years: https://www.amazon.com/Brother-PTH110-P ... B01J3WQ360
I'll post some photos.
Christians warn us about the anti-christ for 2,000 years, and when he shows up, they buy a bible from him.
Yeah I got mine at Sam's Club several years ago with three cartridges as a bundle for a good price.
My only gripe is that the way it's designed, you waste a LOT of blank tape between labels. If you're going to print a lot of them it's better to print them as one long label with spaces between them, and then cut them with scissors.

I hate that too. I always do that then hit the feed to cut button then like 3 minuets later need another label.
