I'm curious what convention others use for labelling patch cables.

For example, consider an HDMI cable that runs from the family room cable box to the CBL/SAT input on the family room AVR. And, assume this is in a rack with multiple cable boxes and AVRs.

What would your label say on the cable box side? What would your label say on the AVR side?

I'm of the mind that a patch cable label should have the TO and FROM info on both sides. So, the cable box side would essentially say "MBRCable <-> FRAVR.CBL", and the AVR side would say "FRAVR.CBL <-> MBRCable".

This can lead to some pretty long labels, though, so perhaps it's not always ideal. Thoughts?
If it's not simple, it's not sufficiently advanced.
