The product is a marking ring from manufacturer Ses-Sterling, type Pliotex PT-V+ 45 0, in the colour yellow. It is used for clear identification of cables in the field of electrical and IT installation. The rings are made of soft PVC, arranged in strip form and pre-cut, to enable quick and easy installation. The black print with the marking "0 cm ( 0 inch ) ensures good readability and visual distinction. The packaging unit contains 500 pieces.
Marking rings are used in electrical installation to uniquely identify cables, lines or connections. This is particularly important in complex systems, where incorrect assignment can lead to malfunctions or safety risks. The PT-V+ 45 0 is specifically designed for cables with an outer diameter of 2.2 to 5.0 mm, making it suitable for a wide range of standard cables in building and industrial technology. The permissible cable cross-sections range from 1 to 6 mm², enabling use with lines for low-voltage installations and data transmission systems.
Functions and equipment in detail
The rings are made of soft PVC, a material known for its flexibility, resistance to mechanical stress and chemical influences. The strip form allows for compact storage and easy removal of individual rings. The pre-cut shape reduces installation time, as no additional tools are required for separation. The black print "0 cm ( 0 inch ) is clear and high-contrast on the yellow background, ensuring readability even in low light or near other coloured cables.
Technology explained simply
Soft PVC is a thermoplastic material characterised by high flexibility and resistance to moisture, UV radiation and mechanical stress. The use in strip form and pre-cut is a standard solution in marking technology to speed up the workflow. The colour yellow is often assigned to specific functions or systems in cable marking, with the exact assignment varying according to the operator's internal guidelines or standards (e.g. DIN 47100). The print "0 cm ( 0 inch ) serves as a unique identification number, enabling precise assignment when combined with other markings (e.g. colour, position).
Compatibility and accessories
The PT-V+ 45 0 is designed for cables with an outer diameter of 2.2 to 5.0 mm. This includes typical cable types such as NYM-J, H07V-K or similar lines in the field of electrical power and data transmission. The rings are not specifically designed for particular accessories, but serve as a universal marking solution. Use in combination with other marking systems (e.g. coloured markings, labels) is possible, as long as the mechanical and chemical loads on the material are not exceeded.
Installation and mounting
Mounting is done by simply sliding the ring onto the cable. Due to the pre-cut shape, no additional tools are required. The rings can be easily slid over the cable and sit securely due to the elastic properties of soft PVC. Additional fastening is not necessary. Use is recommended during cable installation or maintenance to ensure clear identification. The rings are suitable for indoor use as well as in protected outdoor areas, as soft PVC has good resistance to weather influences.
Advantages in operation
The use of pre-cut marking rings reduces installation time and minimises error sources. The clear colour and digit combination (yellow with black "0 cm ( 0 inch )) enables quick visual identification, even with high cable density. The material quality ensures long service life and resistance to mechanical stress, increasing the reliability of the marking in operation. The packaging unit of 500 pieces offers an economical solution for larger projects or maintenance work.
