Summary: This is a great industrial strength label maker for the data center or in the field. The unit is very tough and includes a thick protective rubber bumper. It's small and runs from 6 AA batteries or the included AC adapter. The interface is very easy to use and includes shortcut keys for cable wraps, patch panels and vertical labels. The unit is much faster to use and much faster to print than the Casio label maker I previously owned and costs less. In addition, the nylon and poly labels are very durable and hold well. Dymo even has heat-shrink cable wraps available. My only real complaints are the lack of a QWERTY keypad and label margins that are too wide. The wide margins waste tape. Margins can be increased from the minimum 5/16\" though.

This RhinoPRO 5000 would work great at home, but be aware that many consumer level features are missing including multiple fonts (only Helvetica is available), an auto tape cutter and other \"fancy\" features. This unit was designed for ease of use, durability and efficiency in the field, and as such comes highly recommended.

Summary: This thing works, wire markers look good and feel like they will stay. ( Check back in a year. )
The keypad had several \"picky\" buttons when I got it. Seems to have been contact corrosion, works well now after use, but doesn't inspire confidence.
The software limits it badly. There's a lot the printer can do, but you can't make it. Patch Panel - Terminal Block labels can only be simple sequences. Only selected rotations are allowed.
It works for my main use, but I can't do the secondary labeling.
