Dotz Cord ID Pro Cord and Cable Identification System, 12 Count, Assorted Colors (DCI171M-C)

When you have a huge nest of cables, like we do, these are very useful. We have many consoles and things all connected to our tv and these make it much easier to know what’s what.

I own a lot of electronics. Probably too many. But I'm a geek and I love my tech toys. I LOVE these little items. I no longer have to play "let's see what goes out when I unplug this cable" when I'm trying to power cycle an electronic device that is acting up or when I need to relocate a device to a different area of my home. I am so happy with how easy to install these were and how easily read the labels inside each clip was. Having the colored dots to also help identify things was just that little bit of icing on the cake. Now I can easily tell which is the power cord to my PS3, PS4 or XBox One. I no longer have to guess at which cable is which for the multi-monitor setup for my gaming PC...as I've got them all easily labeled and color coded as well. It's one of those things that 99% of the time, most people will likely never need to worry about...but that 1% of the time you have to deal with figuring out which cable goes where...you'll be patting yourself on the back for ordering these simple, effective and quite brilliant little pieces of plastic goodness. I honestly wish now I'd have opted for the 100-pack instead of the 12-pack. I've included pics as an example. At my computer desk, I have multiple devices plugged in to a power strip. The strip itself resides in a recessed area under the main part of the desk, above a drawer. The strip is as far forward as it will reach. Without the ID tags, I was stuck having to reach back and grab something, unplug it and then check and see what doesn't have power. Thanks to a color coded dot on each device I can know that if I need to unplug my 3rd monitor, it's the green plug. The 1st one is the yellow plug, etc. It's so much more convenient now to deal with my cables. Pros - Simple to use...just use a fingernail (or dime/etc. if you have short nails) to pop it open. Write down device name on the included labels. Push labels into clip with ya fingernail or a closed pen or something. Snap the clip shut around cable. That's it. Takes all of 30 seconds per cable including the time writing on the labels. You can optionally (I'd recommend it if they're in locations that make it hard to read the labels) put the (included) small color coded dots on the devices themselves. I personally put the dots along the top of TV's/monitors & sides of other things to make it easy to glance over and see what color is connected to it. Makes identifying cables a breeze. Cons - The ONLY con I can see is one of personal preference...I simply wish they had about double the amount of colors available to make it that much easier to identify things if you have a large power strip and such. But seriously, these things are awesome, even with just the 6 colors available.

A home office necessity

Simplemente son identificadores de cables de colores, muy buenos si tienes tu desorden con varios cables iguales, también incluye algunas calcomanías y cartoncillos por si quieres identificar por número o poner una nota.

These are even better than I expected. I've messed around with hand-made paper cable-tags for years, but these are a leap forward ! Love the twinning of colours for both ends of any cable and the ability to switch the ID I write inside them if ever I might want to. Good size and feel very durable too.
