Does anyone have any companies that they like to use for heat shrink type labeling of 3pin connector cables and XLR cables?
You might be able to find some heat shrink with a high enough shrink ratio to slip over the connector, but I think they get pricy. But 3:1 ratio is not too difficult to find. I labeled my DMV cable with a simple label printer and placed it on the barrels, between that and the differently covered cables ties they stay separate well enough from my microphone cable.
You could also look to see if you can find transparent rescue tape- it sticks only to itself and then shrinks. Might do the trick, buts a bit pricy.
Or you know, you could sit there with the soldering iron. Just don't use packing tape, whatever you do.
Used heavy packing tape previously. Which is why I am currently typing this thread. LOL
If they are Neutrik ends, how about something like these?
XCR-* - Neutrik
Doesn't require any un soldering. Just screwing and unscrewing the shell. You would have to get the type that fits your series connector though (x,xx,etc.)
I'm pretty sure on at least Neutrik connectors, you can unscrew the shell and pull back the strain relief enough without unsoldering anything that you can reduce the outer diameter of the ends of the cable enough to slip some heatshrink tubing over. That is, without having to pay for an absurdly high shrink ratio.
