Cable Marking System

John- · Oct 26, 2020

Hi, i am looking for a cable marking system i can use from 1.5mm to 16mm. Would be great if had L1, L and L3 complete without my having to make them up. This is the nearest i can find but the buggers don't do L1, L2 and l3 in the larger sizes :-(

We use Hellermanntyton and they definately do L1, L2 and L3 as single wire markers in several sizes.

I purchased this one today: -

Looking into greater detail, i think i will use a cable label, then separate clear heat shrink round it if needs be?

You can get heatshrink cartridges for the Brother label printers, not cheap but you can get better deals if you shop around.

The 8.8mm (I think) does typical 1.5-4mm sort of conduit cables, and the 17mm does the likes of 25mm tails or tri-rated or the likes of 1.5mm round cables, Flexishield, etc.

I use PARTEK cable markers. You'd have to apply a separate L and number, but I find them quite easy to use.

Think outside the box, use these.

Normally used on a carrier strip to identify cable, but have used these myself on 16 and 25mm conductors. Anything bigger will be a squeeze though!
