Frequently Asked Questions
What label size for cable labels?
For standard Ethernet cables, use narrow labels like DYMO 99010 (89 × 28 mm) or Brother DK-11201 (90 × 29 mm). Wrap them around the cable near the connector. For flag-style labels, use DYMO 11354 (57 × 32 mm).
Can I print both ends at once?
Yes. Use the repeat count feature set to ×2. Each cable gets two identical labels — one for each end.
Do I need DYMO Rhino for cable labels?
No. OpenLabelMaker creates cable labels on standard DYMO LabelWriter rolls. DYMO Rhino is only needed for their proprietary heat-shrink and industrial label tapes. For self-adhesive wrap-around labels, a standard LabelWriter works perfectly.
