Cable Markers

Product Overview

Cable markers give wire and cable runs permanent identification. Our catalog tubing is used for wire identification and marking across electronics, power and shipbuilding work: LRS-1 flame-retardant polyolefin in six colors, NFR-P in the same colors plus clear, and LRS-YG in yellow-green for ground wires. Text and numbering are applied by thermal printing before shrinking, so the legend sits under the sleeve wall and resists abrasion and solvents once recovered.

Where labels must survive outdoor or industrial conditions, a heat shrink sleeve outperforms adhesive labels: it cannot peel off, and clear NFR-P tubing can be printed or used as a protective window over printed markers. Phase identification follows the IEC 60445 color system, and our cold shrink termination kits use red, yellow and green sealed tubes for the same purpose. Tell us your cable size, legend content and environment, and our engineering team will match sleeve material, color and print method.

Applications

Panel and Harness Identification

Print circuit numbers on sleeve stock and recover onto wires in panels and harnesses.

Phase and Ground Marking

Red, yellow and green sleeves identify phases per IEC 60445; yellow-green marks ground conductors.

Marking Protection

Clear NFR-P tubing covers printed markers or connections that must stay visible.

FAQ

Can you supply pre-printed markers, or only blank sleeve stock?
Both. Blank printable sleeve stock suits users with their own thermal printers, and we handle marking and custom colors as custom processing — send your legend content and quantities for a quotation.
Which color identifies what?
Phase and conductor colors follow the IEC 60445 identification system. Our stock colors are black, red, yellow, green, blue and white, with yellow-green LRS-YG for ground conductors.
Does printing survive abrasion and cleaning?
Legend is printed before shrinking, so the recovered sleeve wall sits over the ink and protects it from abrasion, wiping and solvents. Print durability test reports are available on request.
What sleeve size do I need?
Choose a size whose recovered ID is below your wire OD and whose expanded ID fits over it; our single wall tubing page lists the full 0.8 to 50 mm size table in a 2:1 ratio.
