Just realized labeling test cable ends saves a ton of time during bench checks.

I was always losing minutes untangling and matching up cables for avionics unit tests. Now I use simple color-coded tape on each connector (it makes everything way faster). How do you keep your test gear sorted out?

Adding voltage ranges next to @ramirez.barbara's pinout would be perfect.

Yeah, color coding is clutch. I go a step further and write the pinout right on the cable with a paint pen. No more digging for diagrams mid-test.

Totally stealing the paint pen idea, that's next level. I use a dab of nail polish with a clear coat over it for my permanent cables.
