The product is a cable marker of type Pliosnap+ PS-17 E yellow, manufactured by Ses-Sterling. It is used for marking cables in the field of electrical and IT installations, particularly for cables with an outer diameter of 8.5 to 11.5 mm and a cable cross-section of 25.0 mm². The markers are made in the color yellow and feature a black print with the marking “E”. The material of the markers is POM (Polyoxymethylene), a technical plastic known for its high strength, heat resistance, and chemical resistance. The markers are supplied as loose individual pieces in a packaging unit containing 50 pieces.
Cable marking is a central component of any professional installation, enabling cables to be uniquely identified and preventing errors during maintenance or renovation. The Pliosnap+ PS-17 E yellow is specifically designed for use with medium-sized cables commonly found in electrical installations, building automation, or industrial plant construction. The yellow color and black letter “E” allow for quick visual differentiation, especially in complex cabling systems.
Functions and equipment in detail
The markers are designed as a snap-fastening system, enabling easy and quick installation without tools. The POM material ensures high mechanical load capacity and good resistance to moisture, oil, and other industrial chemicals. The markers are intended for indoor use, although the material properties also allow limited outdoor use, provided there is no direct sunlight or extreme weather conditions. The marking “E” is clearly legible and serves as a unique identification mark that can be integrated into a marking system in combination with other colors and letters.
Technology explained simply
POM is a high-quality thermoplastic material widely used in technical applications due to its high strength, low friction, and excellent wear resistance. The markers are dimensioned to elastically wrap around the cable and are secured using an integrated snap fastener. The specified fit for cable outer diameters of 8.5 to 11.5 mm ensures a secure and tight attachment without damaging the cable jacket. The use of POM ensures that the markers retain their shape and legibility even under prolonged stress.
Compatibility and accessories
The marker is specifically designed for cables with a cross-section of 25.0 mm², which is typical for heavy-duty electrical conductors in electrical installations. It is part of the PLIO SNAP+ system by Ses-Sterling, which includes a wide range of markers in various colors and with different markings. Using this within a uniform marking system enables structured and unambiguous identification of conductors, significantly simplifying maintenance and fault diagnosis. There are no specific accessories required for this marker — it is supplied as a single unit and can be directly attached to the cable.
Installation and mounting
Installation is tool-free: the marker is slipped over the cable and secured using the integrated snap fastener. The elastic shape of the material allows for secure fastening without the risk of damaging the cable. The packaging unit contains 50 loose markers, which can be removed and installed as needed. Installation is quick and requires no additional tools.
Advantages in operation
The use of POM as material ensures a long service life for the markers, even under industrial conditions. The clear, black marking “E” on a yellow background is highly legible and allows for quick identification. The precise fit for cables with an outer diameter of 8.5 to 11.5 mm ensures secure attachment, even under mechanical stress. The packaging unit with 50 pieces provides sufficient quantity for typical installations, eliminating the need for frequent reordering.
