The Ses-Sterling marker PLIO SNAP+ PS-12 0 cm ( 0 inch ) is a cable identification system for the unambiguous identification of cables in electrical and IT applications. It is used for visual marking of cables with an outer diameter of 4.5 to 6.0 mm and a cable cross-section of 4.0 to 6.0 mm². The markers are yellow in colour and made of POM (polyoxymethylene), a robust plastic known for its high strength and weather resistance. The identification is achieved by a black print of the digit "0 on the yellow carrier strip. The markers are supplied in a bag containing 12 pre-loaded carrier strips with a total of 300 markers. The packaging weighs 75 g.
Cable identification is a central component in electrical installation, enabling cables to be quickly and unambiguously identified during operation, maintenance work, or in case of faults. The PLIO SNAP+ PS-12 markers are specifically designed for use on cables with a diameter range of 4.5 to 6.0 mm, making them suitable for medium to large cables in power and low-voltage technology. The identification with the digit "0 cm ( 0 inch ) allows for clear, standardised assignment, for example, within a numbering system for cables in enclosures or distribution boxes.
Functions and equipment in detail
The markers are designed as self-adhesive, peel-off labels that are attached to the carrier strip via a special locking mechanism (Snap system). This mechanism enables easy and secure mounting without tools. Carrier strips are available both unloaded and pre-loaded; the variant offered here is pre-loaded with markers. The yellow colour provides high visibility, especially in environments with high light contrast or in dark enclosures. The black print ensures clear readability of the marking.
Technology explained simply
The material POM, from which the markers are made, is characterised by high mechanical strength, heat resistance, and chemical resistance. It is resistant to many industrial chemicals and is therefore suitable for use in industrial environments. The dimensions of the markers are matched to a cable diameter of 4.5 to 6.0 mm, ensuring secure and tight attachment. The marking is applied by direct, non-washable printing, which remains intact even under mechanical stress or short-term moisture exposure.
Compatibility and accessories
The PLIO SNAP+ PS-12 markers are designed for cables with an outer diameter of 4.5 to 6.0 mm and a cross-section of 4.0 to 6.0 mm². They are part of the PLIO SNAP+ system by Ses-Sterling and can be combined with other markers from this series to create a uniform identification system. The carrier strips are standardised, ensuring compatibility with other markers of the same type.
Installation and mounting
Installation is performed by simply peeling the marker off the carrier strip and then sliding it onto the cable. The Snap mechanism ensures the marker stays securely on the cable and does not slip. The markers are designed for quick, tool-free installation, reducing installation time. They are used directly on the cable without additional holders or adhesives.
Advantages in operation
The unambiguous identification with the digit "0 cm ( 0 inch ) enables quick cable identification, especially in complex installations. The high visibility provided by the yellow colour and black print improves readability. The POM material quality ensures long service life and resistance to mechanical and chemical influences. The tool-free mounting reduces labour effort and speeds up installation. The packaging unit with 300 markers offers an economical solution for larger projects.
