Cable marking label | heat shrink | Ø4.8mm x 2m | yellow | for wire and cable marking

Technical Specifications

Product type: heat shrink marking tube
Type: Shrink Sleeve
Color: yellow 
Inner diameter: Ø4.8 mm
Length: 2 m
Construction: continuous tube
Printing type: thermal transfer printing
Compatibility: label printers with Shrink Sleeve function, thermal transfer ribbons
Application: wire marking, cable marking, electrical installation identification, automation system marking

Functions

Wire marking – allows clear identification of wires and their purpose
Cable marking – suitable for identification of electrical and automation cables
Heat shrink construction – when heated, the tube shrinks and tightly fits around the wire
360° visible marking – information is visible from different angles
Thermal transfer printing – ensures clear and long-lasting visibility of markings
Text printing – names, numbers, and technical data can be printed
Number printing – convenient for electrical circuit identification
Protection against wear – marking is protected from abrasion and daily exposure
Professional marking – ensures neat and easy-to-maintain installations
Long-term identification – information remains visible even under demanding operating conditions

Applications

For electricians: Marking cables, wires, electrical panels, terminals, circuit breakers, and other electrical installation components. Helps perform installation, maintenance, and troubleshooting tasks faster.

For automation specialists: Identification of PLC modules, relays, sensors, control circuits, and automation cabinets. Enables clear system organization and reduces the likelihood of service errors.

For network and communication specialists: Marking LAN, fiber optic, and telecommunications cables, patch panels, switches, and communication equipment. Simplifies network administration and maintenance.

For engineers and designers: Numbering and identification of projects, circuits, cable routes, and technical systems according to project documentation.

For maintenance specialists: Identification of equipment, cables, and systems during repair, preventive maintenance, or modernization work. Helps locate required components more quickly.

For industrial companies: Marking cables in production lines, control cabinets, mechanisms, equipment, and technological processes. Ensures organized and professional installation management.

Advantages

Secure attachment to the wire – does not slip or peel off after shrinking
Durable marking – information remains clearly visible for a long time
Abrasion resistant – marking does not wear off during operation
360° visibility – marking can be read from different sides
Suitable for demanding environments – performs better than standard adhesive labels

Disadvantages

A heat source is required to shrink the tube
A special printer is required
Limited diameter, not suitable for all cable sizes

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a heat shrink cable marking tube used for?
It is used for identification and long-term marking of wires, cables, electrical installations, and automation systems.

Where are these marking tubes most commonly used?
In electrical panels, automation cabinets, production equipment, telecommunications networks, vehicles, and industrial installations.

Why is a heat shrink tube better than an adhesive label?
After shrinking, it tightly fits the wire, does not peel off, and offers greater resistance to abrasion and environmental influences.

How is the marking tube installed?
The tube is placed onto the wire and then heated with a hot air gun or another heat source until it shrinks and tightly fits around the wire.
