The switches i got came with 8" of heat shrink tubing.
Finally your basement wiring area looks pretty good, but I suspect you will want to add a network cabinet or "relay rack" when all is said and done.
Overall, it looks like nice construction with thoughtful wiring--more than what can be said of my recent construction experience.
Sorry, I should have emphasized it more....I'm looking for the CHEAP solution.
I've had this discussion before in another thread, where indeed the top suggested labeler was the Rhino. But I just can't swing that purchase. So when I see someone who has labeled something, I ask in case they came up with some somewhat more ghetto-cheap way of doing it. Right now I'm just looking for an improvement on sharpie-on-jacket, just because the jacket is a poor writing surface, and the different colors make it difficult to see sometimes.
The next step up from that I think would be PC-printed labels "laminated" with some scotch tape. I just haven't tried that yet.

Question: Is there a reason why you are using two cat5 wires to connect from the 8811 to the distribution panel? The old 8811 diagram only uses one.
I didn't pre-wire for any cat5/6RG6/RG59 etc. Instead i had a 3/4 conduit with a 1 gang LV bracket (mudring) put at all locations where i thought i may want something at some point.

Thanks for the detailed write-ups. I was about to pull the trigger on a Russound system but the pictures of your E6G are making me reconsider. Those keypads look very nice!
What gauge speaker wire did you end up using with the AllPort? I wonder if it will accept 12awg...the manual says 16awg.
