| Reply to this with what hardware you can bring that's networking or power related. Be specific, e.g., 16 port switch, 5-port wireless router, 5-20ft CAT5 cables, 4 6 plug surge protectors, etc. |

| How do you guys mark your ethernet cables as being yours? I mean what kind of tag do you put on them? I have several middle to short ethernet cables I can bring but I want to know that I won't loose them inexplicably. |

| The club takes long file labels (the 3.5x.5 inch kind), writes "AU Gamers" or something similar on them then wraps the sticker around the cable near an end. I always try to put that end at the switch. I do the same thing for my cables but write "xero" on them. In sharpie of course. |

Masking Tape on each end taped around the cable and to itself like a flag.
When I have special cables I make sure they are color coded if I make them myself or I put black electiral tape around it not in a flag shape. So it coats it.
1 Electrical tape = CAT 5
2 = CAT 5e
3 = CAT 6
If I was starting again today I would put the masking tape flag with a name on it with a unique number on each end. That way I would know even when they are plugged into a mass of cables which one was which. Then I would get different color sharpies and mark the edge of the flag to tell me what kind of cable it was.
Hmmmm I think I will go ahead and do that tonight when I get home. |

| I just remember where I put my cables. Generally, they're in my immediate vicinity. |
