What I did was go to Office Depot and pick up a box of Video Tape labels.
It is wasteful on my part- I only used the long spine label.
Then using Word, I just pulled up that label and typed whatever, but forced
it to stay on the ends.
Example:
_____________________________________________
| Monitor......................................................Monitor|
| One................................................................One|
|Power...........................................................Power|
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When folded over a cable/cord, it is very readable no matter which "side"
you read. If you pre-make the labels, the project will go easier. I made
three labels for every cord. One went on the ends, and one approximately in
the center to keep me from have to trace a cord all the way to its end.
