Professional cable and wire marking requires materials that retain their properties even in demanding industrial conditions. Brady BM-500-175-342-YL / 174491 represents a solution in the form of bulk PermaSleeve sleeves that combines high durability with precise legibility. These original cuffs are designed specifically for thermal transfer printing, ensuring that the text remains sharp and legible throughout the product's lifetime. The yellow background color serves as a distinctive visual signal that facilitates the quick identification of critical circuits or warning markings in dense cable bundles.
The material used to manufacture these sleeves is polyolefin, a polymer known for its chemical stability and resistance to moisture, oil, and common chemicals. Unlike cheaper alternatives, which may yellow, crack, or lose their gloss over time, Brady polyolefin sleeves retain their mechanical and visual properties for many years. TT (thermal transfer) printing technology enables the transfer of color tone directly into the structure of the material, creating a surface that is resistant to abrasion and UV radiation. This is crucial for applications where cables are exposed to thermal stress or mechanical damage.
The sleeve size is 44.83 mm x 21.60 mm, which is a standard dimension suitable for marking larger cable bundles or individual conductors with a larger diameter. Each package contains 1000 labels, ensuring cost-effectiveness for large-scale labeling projects. Thanks to the bulk format (packaging without backing paper), these sleeves are ideal for use with Brady automatic printers, which enable fast and error-free printing of serial numbers, codes, and texts without the need for manual cutting or sticking.
Using these sleeves brings a number of benefits for technicians, electricians, and engineers.
Easy installation and permanent legibility reduce the risk of errors during the maintenance and repair of electrical wiring. Standardizing labeling using original Brady products also facilitates the training of new employees and ensures compliance with internal standards and regulations. Investment in quality labeling thus quickly pays off in the form of lower operating costs and higher workplace safety.
