To tie wrap or not to tie wrap. That is the question

[casperLennon]

I’m doing a 48way three phase board at work with 34 circuits. How to keep it tidy without tie wraps? Or is tie wraps the way to go

I think no matter what ya do someone will say they prefer it the other way. I think if I have sleeving then sleeve the full length but not cover with tape

i just want to know where i can buy a Gn/Y sharpie.

Funny you say that

When I was learning my old boss always did it using a small single loop wrap of tape about an inch before the terminal.

But then another guy who was training me up would over sleeve the entire length of the core

Horses for courses ?

I'm not keen on long lengths of identification sleeving like that either, it makes the bunch of cables in a DB a lot bulkier.
And I'm sure someone will say it thermally insulates each core etc etc.
