General
Colour	Yellow

The product is a cable marker from the brand Ses-Sterling, type Pliosnap+ PS-17 U yellow, specifically designed for labelling cables in the field of electrical and IT installations. The markers are manufactured in yellow colour and feature a black print with the marking “U”. They are made of polyoxymethylene (POM), a thermoplastic material known for its high strength, heat resistance, and chemical resistance. This material selection ensures durable and robust labelling, even under industrial conditions. The markers are designed for cables with an outer diameter of 8.5 to 11.5 mm and are particularly suitable for cables with a cross-section of 25.0 mm². These dimensions cover a typical application range in electrical installations, especially for medium-sized cables in distribution systems, machinery, or plant engineering.

Applications

The markers are intended for labelling cables in electrical and electronic systems. They serve to uniquely identify cables, preventing errors during installation, maintenance, or repair. The yellow colour and black letter “U” enable quick visual differentiation, particularly in complex cabling systems. The marking “U” may represent different functions depending on the application system, such as a specific cable function, phase, or particular installation unit. Their use in industrial electrical installations, building automation, or machine construction is common.

Functions and Features in Detail

The markers are supplied as loose individual pieces and can be directly slid onto the cable. The design allows for easy and quick installation without tools. The locking mechanism is achieved via an integrated clip system, ensuring secure fastening. The markers are not self-adhesive; instead, they slide over the cable and lock in place through form-fit. The yellow colour and black print “U” ensure good readability, even under low lighting conditions. The material thickness and shape guarantee that the markers remain securely in place even under mechanical stress, such as bending or pulling forces.

Technology Explained Simply

The material POM (polyoxymethylene) is a high-quality plastic commonly used in the electrical industry for components requiring high mechanical performance. It is characterised by high strength, low friction, and good resistance to moisture and many chemicals. Therefore, the markers are suitable for use in indoor environments as well as in slightly damp or industrial conditions. The dimensions of 8.5 to 11.5 mm outer diameter match standard cable diameters commonly found in electrical installations. The marking “U” is clearly and distinctly printed, enabling quick identification.

Compatibility and Accessories

The markers are specifically designed for cables with a cross-section of 25.0 mm², corresponding to a typical cable in power engineering. They are not intended for cables with other cross-sections or diameters. Compatibility with other markers from the Pliosnap+ series is possible to ensure a uniform labelling system. The markers are supplied loose and can be installed without additional tools or accessories. No specific accessories are required for use.

Installation and Mounting

Installation is performed by simply sliding the marker over the cable. The integrated clip locks automatically once the cable is pushed into the designated area. The markers fit securely and are not easily removed, ensuring permanent labelling. No special cable preparation is required, and installation can be carried out even in confined spaces. The markers are not self-adhesive; they are held in place by form-fit.

Operational Advantages

Using these markers reduces errors during installation and maintenance, as cables are clearly identifiable. The high material quality ensures long service life, even under industrial conditions. The clear colour and letter combination enables quick visual inspection. The tool-free installation speeds up work processes. The markers are supplied in a packaging unit of 50 pieces, enabling cost-effective use in larger projects.
