Very commonly used in the automotive world as well.This is the one that I have used in dealing with contract work:

I ask them, "I can do it fast, cheap, and good... which two do you want?"
It would make more sense not to label it "orange cable" but "video cable", "data cable", or whatever the cable actually does. I think that's the best part, how obvious and useless the information is.To laugh at the orange cable label is to be shortsighted enough (pun intended) to forget there are people in the world that are color blind.
Well yeah, in an actual cable labels are sort of impossible for all sorts of reasons, one being that you manufacture a several thousand foot spool of cable for general usage.Industry doesn't agree though Ghar, every single last UTP communication cable you'll ever find in the real world will be color coded. Do a Google image search for communication cable. Obviously most of them don't have labels but for a larger cable the tag for word identification probably cost a penny to add to the cable, just one of those random 'value added' things that some companies do, like USB cable ends that glow when connected, the smd resistor and led for those probably cost the company an extra dime.
