What is cable marker tubes?
Cable marker tubes, also known as wire marker sleeves or wire marker tubes, are cylindrical or tubular devices used for labeling and identifying wires, cables, and electrical components within wiring systems. These tubes are typically made of durable materials such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyethylene, or heat-shrinkable plastic.
Cable marker tubes are essential components of wiring and cabling systems across various industries, providing clear, durable, and standardized labeling solutions for wires, cables, and electrical components.
How to install cable marker tubes?
Installing wire number tubes on wires is a common practice in electrical and wiring applications to facilitate identification and organization. In routine work, the commonly used processing methods:
Step 1 Prepare the Wire:
Ensure that the wire is clean and stripping the jacket
Step 2 Select the Appropriate Wire Number Tube:
Choose a wire number tube that fits snugly over the stripped portion of the wire. The tube should have enough space to slide on easily but should not be loose.
Step 3 Cable marker tube cutting:
pipe cutters or automatic tube cutting machine
Step 4 Slide the Tube onto the Wire:
Place the wire number tube over the stripped section of the wire.
Step 5 Heating cable tubes:
If you are using heat-shrinkable wire number tubes, use a heat source (heat gun or heat shrink oven) to apply heat evenly to the tube.
Step 6 Coding on the tube (optional):
If desired, label the wire number tube with the corresponding wire number or identifier using a marker or labeling system.
Machine or tool Needed:
Tube cutting machine or tool
Heat source gun or heat shrink oven
Marker or labeling system
