The cable marker carrier KME from Phoenix Contact, manufacturer's number 0807083, is a marking-compatible component for labelling cables and lines in industrial and electrical engineering applications. It serves as a carrier for labels or signs, which can be printed using a thermal transfer printer or marked manually. The carrier is supplied in white colour (RAL 9010) and unlabelled, allowing it to be individually adapted to the specific application. Mounting is done using cable ties, enabling flexible and secure attachment to cables with a diameter greater than 5 mm.

Applications

The cable marker carrier is intended for use in electrical installations, automation technology, and building and plant control systems. It is particularly suitable for labelling lines in enclosures, control systems, distributors, and other electrical installations. The dimensions of the text field (20 mm width, 8 mm height) allow for clear and easily readable labelling, even in limited space within an enclosure. The white colour (RAL 9010) ensures high readability of the labelling, especially when using dark or coloured labels.

Functions and Equipment in Detail

The carrier is specifically designed for mounting with cable ties, allowing it to be attached to cables with a diameter over 5 mm. The open design of the carrier enables easy insertion of labels or signs available in the matching format (20x8 mm). The unlabelled version offers the freedom to apply labelling according to the individual requirements of the installation or project. The material selection ensures high mechanical stability and resistance to mechanical stress during operation.

Technology Explained Simply

The cable marker carrier KME is a passive component that does not perform any electrical function, but serves exclusively as a mechanical carrier for labelling. Mounting is done via a cable tie, which is threaded through the integrated openings in the carrier. The dimensions of the text field (20 mm width, 8 mm height) are standardised and allow the use of commercially available labels, which are available in various materials (fabric, plastic) and colours.

Compatibility and Accessories

The cable marker carrier is compatible with various labels and signs sized 20x8 mm. Suitable accessories include, for example, fabric labels (EMLC), plastic signs (EMLP, UC-EMLP), and labels for thermal transfer printers (EML). The labels are available in various colours (e.g. yellow, blue, white) and materials (fabric, plastic), enabling flexible design of the labelling. Labelling can be done manually or with a thermal transfer printer, with labels being supplied in roll form (e.g. 2500 pieces per roll).

Mounting and Installation

Mounting of the cable marker carrier is done using a cable tie, which is threaded through the designated openings in the carrier. The carrier is first placed around the cable, then the cable tie is tightened and locked. Labels or signs are inserted into the designated cutout of the carrier. The installation is quick and simple, requiring no additional tools or special mounting aids. The fastening is stable and holds even under mechanical stress.

Advantages in Operation

The cable marker carrier KME offers a reliable and durable labelling solution for cables and lines. The combination of a stable carrier and various labelling options allows individual adaptation to specific requirements. Mounting with cable ties is quick and easy, enabling efficient installation in existing systems or new installations. The high readability of the labelling, due to the white colour (RAL 9010) and standardised dimensions (20x8 mm), facilitates maintenance and servicing of the system. The use of labels made from different materials (fabric, plastic) allows adaptation to various environmental conditions, such as high temperatures or mechanical stress.
