OSI layer 1 and revisiting labelmakers in the year 2021

Sun Jun 6 23:03:11 UTC 2021

Eric, hi.  I was about to recommend the label makers that we use, until you
mentioned the QWERTY keyboard.  I do agree, for us that can touch type, the
QWERTY keyboard is the best.  I'm often confused by the ABC order keyboard
on our label printers.  Perhaps you can find one like we use, but with a
QWERTY keyboard?

We use the Brady BMP21-PLUS -
https://www.bradyid.com/label-printers/bmp21-plus-portable-label-printer-pid-139535.
It's specifically designed for electrical installations, and is easily
adapted to labeling fiber jumpers, copper jumpers, and devices inside of a
data center cabinet.

There are several options for self-laminating label cartridges for cabling,
long-lasting label tape for flat-surface labeling, and even one option that
attaches directly to velcro.  Accessory options include carrying cases,
rechargeable battery packs, AC charger, and a stand/magnetic mount/velcro
mount/work light accessory (must have!).

Best Regards,
