The Ses-Sterling Pliosnap+ PS-17 X yellow is a cable marker from the PLIO SNAP+ product series, specifically designed for marking cables in the field of electrical and installation technology. It serves for the clear identification of wires and cables based on a visible, durable print. The markers are manufactured in yellow colour and feature a black, clearly legible letter “X” as marking. The material is polyoxymethylene (POM), a technical plastic known for its high strength, heat resistance, and chemical resistance. These properties make the marker suitable for use in industrial and technical applications where durable and robust marking is required.
Applications
The marker is designed for cables with an outer diameter of 8.5 to 11.5 mm. This corresponds typically to cables with a cross-section of 25.0 mm², such as those used in heavy current technology, machine installations, or building electrotechnics. The marking is achieved by simply sliding the marker onto the cable, where the shape of the marker ensures a secure and durable fixation. The yellow colour and black letter “X” provide high contrast, improving readability even under low lighting conditions or in complex cabling situations.
Functions and Equipment in Detail
The marker features a special shape that allows it to be slid onto the cable without tools and secured in place. The connection is achieved via a foldable or sliding closure mechanism that holds the marker securely on the cable. The surface is smooth and resistant to mechanical stress, enabling a long service life even under harsh operating conditions. The use of POM as material ensures high resistance to moisture, oil, grease, and other industrial chemicals, allowing the marker to function reliably even in damp or dirty environments.
Technology Explained Simply
POM, the plastic material used, is a high-quality thermoplastic commonly used in the electrical and automotive industries for components requiring high mechanical performance. It is characterised by high strength, low friction, and good wear resistance. Therefore, the markers are not only suitable for short-term use but also withstand long-term loads. The yellow colour is often designated in electrotechnics for specific wire functions or systems, enabling clear assignment in the context of standards and norms.
Compatibility and Accessories
The marker is specifically designed for cables with an outer diameter of 8.5 to 11.5 mm. It is thus compatible with cables having a cross-section of 25.0 mm². Use is limited to these dimensions; adaptation to other diameters is not intended. The markers can be used individually or in larger quantities, depending on installation requirements. There are no special accessories required for use – the markers are ready to use directly.
Installation and Mounting
Installation is tool-free. The marker is simply slid over the cable and secured using the integrated closure mechanism. This process is quick and requires no additional tools. The fixation is durable and resistant to vibrations and mechanical stress. The markers are suitable for indoor and outdoor use, with material strength and colour contrast remaining intact even after prolonged exposure or in dirty environments.
Operational Advantages
Using the Pliosnap+ PS-17 X yellow provides clear, durable, and easily readable marking. The material quality ensures long service life and resistance to environmental influences. The tool-free installation reduces installation time and minimises errors. The yellow colour and black letter “X” enable quick identification, which is beneficial during maintenance, repairs, or documentation of cabling. The markers are available in a packaging unit of 50 pieces, enabling efficient storage and use in larger projects.
