The product is a
cable marker from the brand
Ses-Sterling, type
Pliosnap+ PS-17 8 yellow, specifically designed for cable identification in the field of electrical and IT installation. It enables clear identification of wires and cables through visible labelling, with the colour
yellow and the
black print „8“ providing visual identification. The markers are designed for cables with an outer diameter of 8.5 to 11.5 mm, thus suitable for cables with a cross-section of 25.0 mm². The material is
POM (polyoxymethylene), a technical plastic known for its high strength, heat resistance, and abrasion resistance, ensuring long service life in industrial and technical applications.
Applications
The marker is suitable for use in electrical installation, machine building, automation technology, and IT infrastructure, where clear and durable cable identification is required. It is particularly used in systems where quick identification of wires is necessary for maintenance, repair, or expansion. The yellow colour can be used in standard systems to indicate specific functions or systems, such as control lines or auxiliary power supplies, with exact assignment being project-specific.
Functions and Equipment in Detail
The marker features a
quick-mounting clamp connection, allowing it to be installed without tools and without cutting the cable. The marker’s shape is designed to elastically wrap around the cable and is secured by an integrated clamp tongue. The marking „8“ is printed in
black, providing high contrast against the yellow base colour and improving readability even in low light or near other cables. The markers are
loose in the packaging, enabling flexible use.
Technology Explained Simply
The material
POM (polyoxymethylene) is a high-quality thermoplastic known for its mechanical strength, high wear resistance, and resistance to chemicals and moisture. This makes the marker suitable for use in environments with high mechanical stress or in damp areas. The
cable outer diameters of 8.5 to 11.5 mm are securely enclosed by the marker’s elastic shape, with the clamp tongue ensuring a firm connection. The marking „8“ serves as a
numerical identification, used in cable identification systems to assign cables to specific lines, circuits, or components.
Compatibility and Accessories
The marker is specifically designed for cables with a cross-section of
25.0 mm², making it suitable for medium to large cables in industrial and technical installations. It is part of the
PLIO SNAP+ system by Ses-Sterling, which includes a range of markers with various colours, markings, and sizes. Using markers from the same system enables uniform identification in complex installations.
Installation and Mounting
Mounting is done by simply
sliding the marker over the cable and then
clamping the integrated tongue. This requires no additional tools and can be performed even in confined spaces or at hard-to-reach locations. The elastic shape of the marker ensures it adapts to the cable diameter and holds securely. The packaging unit contains
50 loose markers, which can be removed and installed individually.
Operational Advantages
The use of
POM as material ensures high mechanical stability and long service life, allowing the markers to maintain their function over extended periods even under load or in harsh environments. The
quick tool-free installation reduces installation time and minimises effort. The clear
colour and number marking enables fast and error-free cable identification, improving maintenance and fault diagnosis efficiency. The packaging unit with 50 markers provides sufficient quantity for small to medium installations.
