In other words, when I reach back and grab the end, I'm going to want to
instantly know it's the transponder cable without being able to read the
label. Any suggestions?


How about putting a plastic cable tie on the coaxial cable just behind
the connector? In fact, you could put two cable ties on the NAV
antenna connector so you could discern the difference between it and
the COM connector.

You could also file a flat area on the TXP cable.

BTW, it DOES make a difference if you hook up the comm antenna to the
nav and vise-versa. One is horizontilly polarized while the other is
vertically polarized. Both receiver sensitivity and xmit capability cna
be severely compromised.
