The product is a cable marker from manufacturer Ses-Sterling, type Pliosnap+ PS-17 N yellow, specifically designed for labelling cables in the field of electrical and IT installations. These markers serve for the unambiguous identification of conductors, particularly in relation to electrical circuits or network components. The yellow colour with black print "N" enables clear visual differentiation, especially in complex cabling systems. The markers are made of POM (polyoxymethylene), a thermoplastic polymer known for its high strength, heat resistance, and chemical resistance. This material selection ensures long service life and reliability under industrial conditions.
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 installation cables in medium- and high-voltage applications as well as in building automation. The recommended cable cross-section is 25.0 mm², typical for heavy-duty power lines in industrial or commercial facilities. The marking with "N" refers to the neutral conductor designation according to DIN VDE 0100-510, enabling the markers to be used in electrical installations for the unambiguous identification of neutral conductors. They are therefore particularly important in distribution boards, control enclosures, or when cabling machines and systems.
Functions and Equipment in Detail
The markers are supplied as loose individual pieces in a packaging unit containing 50 pieces. Packaging is done in a bag that protects the material from contamination and damage. The markers are designed as a snap system, meaning they can be easily slipped over the cable and locked without tools or additional fastening elements. The locking mechanism is integrated and ensures secure and permanent fixation. The yellow colour with black print ensures high readability, even under low light conditions or in complex cable bundles.
Technology Explained Simply
The POM material offers high mechanical strength and resistance to wear, making the markers suitable for use in industrial environments. The surface is smooth and resistant to many chemicals, increasing durability. The locking is achieved via an elastic clamping mechanism that adapts to the cable diameter and enables secure fastening without additional tools. The marking "N" is permanently printed and not washable, ensuring long-term stability of the identification.
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 part of the Pliosnap+ system by Ses-Sterling and can be combined with other markers from this series to create a uniform labelling system. Use requires no additional tools.
Installation and Mounting
Installation is performed by simply sliding the marker over the cable. The integrated clamping mechanism ensures that the marker locks itself and does not slip off. No tools are required, and installation can be carried out quickly and without interrupting the installation process. The markers are intended for use in enclosed switchgear and distribution enclosures where clear and permanent labelling is required.
Operational Advantages
Using these markers enables quick and unambiguous identification of cables, especially during maintenance, fault diagnosis, or when expanding existing systems. The high readability due to the yellow/black colour combination and the permanent "N" marking reduce the risk of misidentification. Material strength and easy installation increase efficiency during installation and maintenance. The packaging unit with 50 pieces provides sufficient quantity for typical installations, eliminating the need for frequent reordering.
