General
Colour	Yellow

The LF1B 5.7x11mm yellow label strip from Ses-Sterling is a labelling system for cables and lines in the field of electrical and IT installation. It is made of PET material and is specifically designed for labelling cables with a cross-section of 1.5 to 2.5 mm². The printable area measures 5.7 mm in width and 11 mm in length, providing sufficient space for clear, legible labelling. The labels are designed for use with a laser printer, ensuring sharp, durable labelling that remains clearly readable even under mechanical stress or in damp environments. The colour yellow ensures high visibility and enables quick visual differentiation from other labels in the system.

Applications

The LF1B label strip is suitable for use in industrial, commercial, and technical installations where clear and durable labelling of cables and lines is required. It is commonly used in electrical installations, network cabling, or automation technology, where quick identification of lines during installation, maintenance, or fault finding is necessary. The use of PET as material ensures high mechanical strength and resistance to wear, extending the lifespan of the labelling.

Functions and Equipment in Detail

The labels are designed as a tear-off system, meaning they can be torn from a sheet and applied directly to the cable. This enables quick and precise labelling without additional tools. The packaging contains 10 sheets, each with 60 labels, resulting in a total of 600 individual labels per pack. The material thickness and surface texture of the PET material are designed to meet the requirements for printing with a laser printer. The colour yellow is consistently distributed across all labels to ensure uniform labelling.

Technology Explained Simply

The use of PET (polyethylene terephthalate) as material offers advantages such as high strength, resistance to moisture and temperature fluctuations, and good printability. Labelling is done via laser printing, where the ink is embedded directly into the material's surface, ensuring high resistance to abrasion, moisture, and UV light. The printable area of 5.7x11 mm is large enough to clearly and legibly display text, symbols, or numbers. The labels are designed to be easily detached from the backing without compromising print quality.

Compatibility and Accessories

The LF1B label strip is specifically developed for use with laser printers. It is important that the printer supports the material thickness and surface texture of the PET material to achieve optimal print quality. The labels are not suitable for inkjet printers, as the material does not adhere sufficiently. Use in combination with a suitable printer enables efficient and serial labelling of cables. There are no specific accessories recommended by the manufacturer for this item.

Installation and Mounting

Installation is done by simply tearing the label from the sheet and applying it directly to the cable. The labels adhere to the cable surface via their self-adhesive backing. It is recommended to clean the cable surface before mounting to ensure optimal adhesion. The labels are designed for cable cross-sections of 1.5 to 2.5 mm², enabling broad application in electrical and IT installations. Installation requires no additional tools or adhesives.

Operational Advantages

Using the LF1B label strip provides quick and reliable cable labelling that remains clearly readable even under operating conditions. The high durability of the PET material ensures the labelling remains intact throughout the cable's entire service life. The colour yellow supports visual orientation in the system, especially in complex installations with many lines. The packaging with 600 labels per pack enables economical use, particularly in larger projects. Printability with a laser printer allows for custom labelling that can be adapted to the specific requirements of the project.
