Wire Labels
Identifying and organizing wires and cables in different environments—from industrial locations to the office—necessitates the use of wire labels. These labels make it easy for users to see at a glance which wire is which, making installation, maintenance, and troubleshooting far more efficient and secure.
Wire labels often come with customizable options for convenience. They allow users to print and apply pretty much anything in the way of identifiers. These labels are ideal for big, industrial-sized wiring projects as well as for smaller applications. Organizing your cabling makes for a clearer workspace and reduces the chance that someone will accidentally unplug something important.
Similar to wire labels, the larger cable labels are used for identification and marking purposes. They afford the same advantages as wire labels—neatness, improved safety, and an assurance that the user can see at a glance what is not readily apparent. Labels on the larger cables make it clear which end goes where in situations when many similar cables converge. The convergence of so many similar cables without the organization afforded by labels would be a real hazard both to the safety and operability of the equipment.
