What is a good way to organize my cables?

Color Code Your Wires

Confusing cables or other lines can cost time and money on the industrial factory floor. A well thought-out color code scheme can help you keep track of cables and cords. Put it into place with heat shrink tubing, available in a wide range of colors. When choosing heat shrink tubing, make sure to find out the shrink ratio. 2:1 and 3:1 are the standard configurations.
