The product is a marking ring from the Pliotex PT-V+ 45 product series, manufactured by Ses-Sterling. It is a pre-cut, caterpillar-shaped marking solution made of soft PVC, specifically developed for cable identification in electrical and IT installations. The rings are in the colour
yellow and feature a
black print with the marking "10,2 cm ( 4 inch ). They are designed for cables with an outer diameter of 2.2 to 5.0 mm and are suitable for cable cross-sections in the range of 1 to 6 mm². The packaging unit contains 500 pieces.
Applications
These marking rings are used for the clear identification of cables in electrical and data installations. They are particularly suitable for applications in building and industrial technology, where a clear, durable, and abrasion-resistant labelling is required. The colour
yellow and the
black print ensure high readability, even under low lighting conditions or in complex cabling situations. The rings can be applied to cables from various manufacturers and types, as long as the geometric requirements (outer diameter 2.2–5.0 mm) are met.
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 caterpillar-shaped design enables easy handling and installation, as the rings are pre-cut and can therefore be directly slipped onto the cable. The pre-defined marking "10,2 cm ( 4 inch ) is permanently printed and remains legible even after prolonged use and mechanical stress. The colour
yellow serves as a visual differentiation within a cable system, with the exact meaning of the colour varying according to internal or industry-standard marking systems.
Technology Explained Simply
The use of
soft PVC ensures that the rings adapt elastically and do not tear when slipped onto the cable. The material choice guarantees a long service life and resistance to moisture, temperature fluctuations, and minor mechanical stress. The caterpillar-shaped form and pre-cut design reduce installation effort, as no additional tools such as scissors or knives are required. The marking "10,2 cm ( 4 inch ) is directly placed on the surface of the ring, making it clearly visible even after repeated bending or contact with other materials.
Compatibility and Accessories
The rings are designed for cables with an outer diameter between 2.2 and 5.0 mm, which corresponds to a wide range of standard cables in the field of electrical and data installations. Compatibility with cable cross-sections from 1 to 6 mm² makes them universally applicable, for example for wiring in residential installations, in the machine-building industry, or in IT infrastructures.
Installation and Mounting
Installation is carried out by simply slipping the ring onto the cable. Due to the pre-cut shape and the flexibility of the soft PVC material, no additional processing is required. The rings fit securely and do not slip off as long as the cable diameter is within the specified range. Installation can be performed without tools, which reduces mounting time and simplifies installation workflows.
Operational Advantages
The uniform marking with the number "10,2 cm ( 4 inch ) in
yellow with
black lettering enables quick and secure cable identification during operation, maintenance work, or fault finding. The material quality ensures long durability, even in environments with low mechanical stress. The packaging unit of 500 pieces offers an economical procurement option for larger projects. The rings are not specified for use in moist or aggressive environments, but the material description indicates general resistance sufficient for typical indoor installations.
