Working with lots and lots of cables means that you need to keep track of them, the last thing you want is a confusing bunch of spaghetti that you have to sort through, you need to have it all well marked so that you know what each and every cable does and is for, so that you can quickly and accurately pick each one out. This means that not only does it mean that you can work faster and safer, but if anyone else needs to take over your job or help you on it they are able to quickly understand what each and every cable does without having to figure it out themselves. Making sure that you have the right cable marking and labels for the job is vital.
It is critical for all people who work with cables, be they electricians or IT specialists, that they have good cable identification, you want labels and markers that are easy to put on, easy to mark and will not slide around much, you want them to do the job well and do the job you need them to do, which is why you need to buy them from a company that understands all these requirements.
You will find that there are some great label and marker manufacturers here in Australia, so make sure you find one that has plenty of experience, in the cable labelling business, but also in the sectors that use labels. Real world job experience is invaluable, as it means that the manufacturer will have a good understanding of what makes a good label and marker and they will be able to produce the best available.
You also want to make sure you use a company that has an extensive range of sizes, styles and colours of wire markers, cable labelling, terminal labels, contactor & PLC labels, push button labels, marker plates, data plates, GPO labels, adhesive labels, so that you can be sure that they have the right method of marking the wire or cable you needed identified.
Find a company that have a range of cable markers that are reasonably priced, that will do the job right and that will last for ages. They should be able to provide you with blank labels or engraved labels depending on your needs.
Look for a company that have a cable label printer so that you can have pre-printed cables on hand as this will speed things up.
