The ScotchCodeT cable marking tape SDR-3 is a refill roll for the 3M ScotchCodeT STD cable marking dispenser. It is used for labelling cables, wires, hoses, terminal blocks, strips, or switchgear, enabling quick and unambiguous identification during maintenance and repair work. The tape is specifically designed for use with the 3M ScotchCodeT STD marking device, which allows precise and efficient application of markings. The markings consist of individual digits, letters, or symbols, with the SDR-3 roll containing the digit 3. The material is a thin, flexible adhesive tape made of polyester, which can be easily wrapped around conductors or components of varying thicknesses. The characters are clearly and legibly printed to ensure unambiguous identification even under low light conditions or in complex installations.

Cable marking tape is offered here as a refill roll for existing marking devices, allowing the dispenser to be reused without replacing the device. It is used in electrical and automation technology, particularly for labelling switchboard wires, phase conductors, spare parts, or in industrial installation technology. The tape is resistant to dirt, oil, solvents, and water, making it suitable for use in technical installations, workshops, or outdoor environments. Its chemical resistance ensures that the markings remain intact over long periods even under industrial conditions.

Technology explained clearly: The adhesive tape is made of polyester, a robust plastic known for its high mechanical strength and chemical resistance. The surface is coated with an adhesive that ensures secure adhesion to various surfaces such as cable insulation, metal, or plastic. The markings are printed directly onto the tape, so when the tape is peeled off, the desired digit (here: 3) remains on the cable or component. The flexibility of the material allows it to adapt to different diameters without tearing or deforming unevenly.

Compatibility and accessories: The SDR-3 is exclusively intended for the 3M ScotchCodeT STD cable marking dispenser. It is not suitable for other marking devices or systems. Compatibility ensures precise cutting and application of the markings. The roll contains the digit 3, making it part of a comprehensive marking system that also includes other digits, letters, or symbols. Using multiple rolls enables systematic labelling, for example for phases (L1, L2, L3) or numbered connections in switchgear.

Installation and mounting: Installation is carried out by inserting the refill roll into the 3M ScotchCodeT STD marking dispenser. The device is then positioned on the cable or component to be labelled, and the marking is cut and applied by pressing or activating the device. The application requires no additional tools or accessories. The marking remains securely fixed to the surface due to the adhesive's holding power and is resistant to mechanical stress as well as environmental influences such as moisture or dirt.

Advantages in operation: Using the ScotchCodeT SDR-3 provides fast and unambiguous labelling, reducing error rates during maintenance and servicing work. The chemical resistance of the material ensures a long service life for the markings, even under industrial conditions. Compatibility with the 3M ScotchCodeT STD device enables standardised and repeatable labelling, simplifying workflows in electrical installation and operation. The clear readability of the digits supports quick identification, especially in complex switchgear or phase identification.
