The product is a cable marker from the brand Ses-Sterling, type Pliosnap+ PS-17 5 yellow, specifically designed for the identification of cables in the field of electrical and IT installation. The markers serve for the unambiguous identification of wires and cables based on a visible, durable print. They are manufactured in yellow colour, with a black, clearly legible print of the marking "12,7 cm ( 5 inch ). The material of the markers is POM (Polyoxymethylene), a high-quality plastic known for its high strength, resistance to wear and chemical influences, as well as its good dimensional stability. These properties make the markers particularly suitable for use in industrial and technical installations, where long-lasting and reliable identification is required.
Applications
The markers are designed for cables with an outer diameter of 8.5 to 11.5 mm, making them suitable for a wide range of standard cables in electrical installation. They are specifically designed for cables with a cross-section of 25.0 mm², which is typical for heavy-duty power lines in industrial electrical engineering. The application is primarily in building and plant installation, where clear, durable identification of wires is necessary for safety and maintenance. The markers can be used on cables in indoor environments as well as in protected outdoor areas, provided that the environmental conditions do not exceed the material resistance of the POM.
Functions and Equipment in Detail
The marker type PS-17 5 yellow features a self-adhesive, snap-like closure mechanism, enabling easy and quick installation without tools. The design ensures secure attachment to the cable without damaging the insulation material. The marking "12,7 cm ( 5 inch ) is printed in black on the yellow background, ensuring high readability even under low light conditions or near other coloured cables. The yellow colour is often assigned to specific functions or systems in electrical engineering, allowing the markers to also contribute visually to the system structure.
Technology Explained Simply
POM as a material offers high mechanical strength and resistance to mechanical stresses, such as those occurring during installation or operation. It is also resistant to many chemical substances, extending the service life of the markers in various environments. The self-adhesive connection ensures that the markers do not accidentally fall off, even when mechanically stressed. The shape of the marker is designed to elastically adapt to the cable diameter without damaging the cable.
Compatibility and Accessories
The markers are specifically designed for cables with an outer diameter of 8.5 to 11.5 mm and a cross-section of 25.0 mm². They are not suitable for cables outside this range, as secure attachment cannot be guaranteed. The markers are used exclusively as individual markers without additional holders or adapters.
Installation and Mounting
Installation is performed by simply sliding the marker onto the cable and then closing the closure mechanism. No tools are required, and the fastening is achieved through the self-adhesive connection. The markers are designed to adapt easily and remain securely on the cable. Installation is best performed before cable laying or during maintenance to ensure unambiguous identification.
Advantages in Operation
The use of POM as material ensures long service life and high resistance to environmental influences. The clear, high-contrast marking "12,7 cm ( 5 inch ) in black on yellow enables quick and secure identification of wires, accelerating maintenance and fault diagnosis. The simple installation without tools reduces installation time and minimizes the risk of errors in marking. The markers are designed for use in technical installations and electrical installation, where reliable and durable identification is essential.
