A cable assembly has an electronic cable (e.g., a data communications cable, a power cable, a fiber optic cable, a cable concurrently providing both data and power, etc.), a label to provide identification to the electronic cable, and a label supporter. The label supporter includes a cable section arranged to attach to the electronic cable, and a label section coupled to the cable section. The label section defines a rigid label surface which concurrently (i) overlays a portion of an outer surface of the electronic cable at a predefined distance from the outer surface of the electronic cable and (ii) supports the label at the predefined distance from the outer surface of the electronic cable when the cable section attaches to the electronic cable.
