Spent $40 on a cheap label maker for cable tags and it's been a game changer

I got tired of tracing cables in server racks during late night calls, so I picked up a basic Brother PT-D200 last month. It lets me print small, clear tags for both ends of every network and power cable, which has cut my troubleshooting time in half on messy setups. Anyone else use something like this, or have a better system for keeping cables sorted?

Seems like a waste of time and money to me.

But what if it saves a ton of time later?

Game changer" is a bit much for some labels lol. It's just cables, not open heart surgery. I get being organized but that seems like overkill for most setups.
