God, yeah. I try to label the USB-C cables directly by capability with my label maker, if they are more than basic charging cables.

What marker do you use to mark them? Is the ink durable and easy to read?

I bought a cheap pack of 5 colors of 3m electrical tape. Each cable gets one or two pieces of tape:

Data:

White if usb2

Blue if it supports USB 3 data (because 5Gbps USB 3 ports are mostly blue)

Green if TB/USB4/40Gbps

Power:

None if low/no Power Delivery

Yellow for 45W PD

Red for 65W+ PD

A label maker, as they said they use, prints durable and easy to read labels.

		Whoops, thank, I can't read - I misread label maker as label marker!

I use a white paint pen. DATA and NO DATA.
