A cable tag allows information about the identity of a communications or power cable and its route to be secured to the cable. The cable tag is secured to a cable in such a way that it can be readily removed and re-secured if necessary. For installation, a portion of a liner adhered to a face stock of the cable tag is removed to expose adhesive. Folding the tag around the cable causes the areas of exposed adhesive to come into contact with each other and with the cable. The remaining portion of the liner on the back of the face stock provides a non-adherent surface where a user's fingers can easily separate the cable tag from the cable. The cable tag includes removable sub-labels to permanently fix originating and terminating information to the cable after installation. The remaining part of the cable tag may then be removed and discarded if necessary.
