The Ses-Sterling Pliosnap+ PS-21 V yellow is a cable marker from the PLIO SNAP+ product series, specifically designed for cable identification in the field of electrical and IT installations. It enables clear identification of wires and cables through a visible, durable print. The markers are yellow in colour and feature a black, clearly legible letter "V" as identification. They are intended for use in installations where quick and secure cable assignment is required, for example in distribution boxes, enclosures, or during machine and plant cabling.
Applications
The marker is designed for cables with an outer diameter of 11.0 to 15.5 mm. This range covers typical cable cross-sections up to 35.0 mm², making it suitable for medium to large cables in industrial and commercial installations. The marking is applied directly to the cable, allowing identification even after installation and during operation. Common applications include distribution systems, installation of power and low-voltage systems, and building automation.
Functions and Features in Detail
The markers are made of polyoxymethylene (POM), a thermoplastic known for its high strength, heat resistance, and chemical resistance. These material properties ensure that the markers maintain their function over a long period, even under industrial conditions such as increased mechanical stress or in environments with low humidity. The "V" print is black, providing high contrast against the yellow background and ensuring readability even in low light conditions.
Technology Explained Simply
The term Pliosnap+ refers to the quick-release system, which allows the markers to be attached to the cable without tools, cutting, or drilling. The markers open via a hinged closure that automatically locks after being placed on the cable. This mechanism ensures secure fastening without damaging the cable, while also enabling quick installation. The choice of POM material ensures long service life and resistance to mechanical stress, such as friction or pressure.
Compatibility and Accessories
The markers are specifically designed for cables with an outer diameter between 11.0 and 15.5 mm. They therefore fit cables with a cross-section up to 35.0 mm². Use in combination with other markers from the PLIO SNAP+ series is possible to ensure a uniform identification system. The markers are supplied loose and can be directly attached to the cable. No specific accessories are required for use.
Installation and Mounting
Installation requires no tools. The marker is simply slid over the cable, the closure is opened, and then it is secured to the cable. The integrated quick-release mechanism ensures the marker sits securely and does not accidentally slip off. Installation is quick and requires no additional tools. The markers are suitable for use in enclosed switchgear as well as in open installations.
Operational Advantages
Using Pliosnap+ PS-21 markers reduces the risk of errors in cable identification, especially in complex systems. The clear, high-contrast "V" marking enables quick recognition. The material strength of POM ensures the markers retain their function over long periods, even under industrial conditions. The tool-free installation speeds up the installation process and reduces labour effort.
The packaging unit contains 50 loose markers, supplied in a bag. The packaging weight is 27.4 g. The markers are intended for indoor use, although the material properties allow limited outdoor use, provided there is no direct weather exposure (e.g. rain, sunlight). The yellow colour is standard in electrical engineering for identification purposes, enabling clear visual distinction.
