Got any opinion, good or bad, on the Dymo RhinoPro labelers? At work we
just got a RhinoPro 5000 to label the stacks of audio cables we have.
Initially I tried using a standard business labeler, but of course the
adhesive didn't hold and the labels popped off. I've been labeling
cables using the 3/4" flexible nylon labels which seems to be holding up
for now.

Our system is to label each cable uniquely with it's length in ft and a
two digit number on both ends. This is kept track of in a big text file.
Most of our cables get used in semi-permenant setups, for the permenant
setups I plan to also include labels saying exactly what the cable is
for. ("MIX OUT LEFT", "SPKR EAST", etc.)

Right now our cables look like a computer guy strung 'em up... Namely
me!
