Rich,



There are a number of wire marking scheams from tags to Label  maker . I use 
the label maker for my all my hardline  13 runs and also for the RG213/214  . 
theses are all inside WX boxes not exposed to the weather/Sun.   for all inside 
distabution of the RG400 I use a phase color code system  .

I use the  3 M color code system for  each tower then a breakdown  example  my 
15 meter tower is GREEN  each  beam is Green  and then ¼ green stripes for the 
three antennas.  And Green and one stipe blue for the 160 delta look on the 
tower.



For control line I use rotor. Phase box  4sq. ect I have a  BIBLE with the line 
color to the tower and then a  3-M wire marking kit which is numbers. ( number 
work better for me because not all cables manufactures have the same # of wire 
or color scheam.

Rich,

In my professional life I deal with control cables and the like.  Several 
different marking systems out there.  Bear in mind, my cables are rarely 
exposed to water or sun, if at all.  Half are exposed to temperature (outdoor). 
 Google is your friend.  Search for "cable markers" or other such descriptions 
and see what you like.
