The PLIO SNAP+ PS-12 Vert. arrow marker from Ses-Sterling is a cable identification system for use in electrical and IT technology. It serves for the unambiguous identification of cables and lines, particularly in complex installations where clear assignment of connections is required. Identification is achieved using pre-loaded carrier rods equipped with yellow markers, each featuring a black vertical arrow as a printed symbol. These markers are designed for cable outer diameters of 4.5 to 6.0 mm and cable cross-sections of 4.0 to 6.0 mm². The material of the markers is POM (polyoxymethylene), a high-quality plastic known for its high strength, heat resistance, and chemical resistance. The yellow color of the carrier rods ensures good visibility and facilitates visual differentiation within cable bundles.
Cable identification is a central component of documentation and maintenance for electrical and data lines. The PLIO SNAP+ PS-12 enables quick and secure identification without requiring additional tools or adhesives. The markers are designed to snap easily and securely onto the cable, ensuring a permanent and slip-resistant attachment. The use of POM as material ensures high mechanical durability and longevity, even under industrial conditions.
Applications include primarily electrical installations, building automation, IT infrastructure, and industrial automation. The markers are suitable for cables in indoor environments where clear and permanent identification is required. The yellow color of the carrier rods supports visual orientation, especially in cable bundles with multiple colors. The vertical arrow marking serves as a guide to indicate the direction or function of the cable, for example, to distinguish between power and data lines or to indicate connection directions.
Functions and equipment in detail include the use of carrier rods, each loaded with multiple markers. A packaging unit contains 12 such carrier rods, totaling 300 markers. The markers are supplied unloaded, meaning they are delivered without pre-printed text or symbols, allowing them to be individually labeled or marked with predefined symbols such as the vertical arrow. Packaging is in a bag weighing 75 g (0.075 kg).
Technology explained simply shows that the markers are made of POM, a thermoplastic polymer suitable for its high strength, low friction, and good wear resistance. The Snap design allows for easy attachment to the cable without additional fastening tools. The yellow color is standard to ensure good visibility, especially in environments with many cables of different colors. The vertical arrow printed on the marker serves as a visual symbol that is quickly recognizable and provides clear orientation.
Compatibility and accessories refers to use with cables in the diameter range of 4.5 to 6.0 mm and cross-section of 4.0 to 6.0 mm². The markers are not specifically designed for particular cable types but are universally compatible with cables of these dimensions. The markers are supplied unloaded, meaning they are delivered without pre-printed text or symbols, allowing them to be individually labeled or marked with predefined symbols.
Installation and mounting is done by simply snapping the markers onto the cable. No tools or additional fastening materials are required. The markers fit securely and do not slip off, ensuring permanent identification. Installation is quick and can be performed even in existing installations without interrupting operational processes.
Operational advantages include easy handling, high visibility due to the yellow color, and permanent attachment via the snap mechanism. The use of POM ensures long service life and resistance to mechanical stress. The identification is clear and unambiguous, simplifying maintenance and fault diagnosis in complex installations. The packaging unit with 300 markers provides sufficient quantity for larger projects or for use in multiple installations.
