Label products for wire and cable marking Identco – a manufacturer of labelling solutions for the power equipment, electronics, transportation and general industrial sectors – has renamed its stock TTL®200 series.

The durable, clear wrap-around area withstands chemicals and scratches, ensuring markers remain both affixed and legible. Self-laminating DuraFlag labels allow for easy and explicit flagging of wires and wire harnesses. This provides a simple way to identify and organise wires, even in harsh conditions such as high temperatures, moisture and chemical exposure. The redesigned series offers an opaque white print-on area that ensures the marking remains clearly legible, even on the deepest black insulation. For production simplicity, three site holes make the series compatible with any common thermal transfer printer, regardless of sensor location. A perforated liner between each row of labels allows for easy kitting and distribution to individual harness boards or panels. Horizontal, one-across configurations offer flexibility for kitting and waste reduction. Composed of supple, conformable vinyl material and high performance acrylic adhesive, the series is available in more than 40 sizes and can be used post-termination. DuraWrap and DuraFlag labels can cover AWG sizes 10 to 4/0 and IEC 60228 (mm 2 ) sizes 6 to 625, from four to 40 conductors wide. Identco www.identco.com

Now called DuraWrap and DuraFlag, the high-performance set of print-on-demand labels provides a convenient way to mark wires, cables and wire harnesses. Suitable for a variety of wires and cables, DuraWrap labels are self-laminating cable and harness products combining the functionality of traditional wire label wrapping with the convenience of fully automated self-laminating technology.

Safety and security without sacrificing performance

In data acquisition and transmission, Belden LSZH (low-smoke, zero-halogen) Cca-rated OSDP (open supervised device protocol) cables are the latest addition to the company’s portfolio of OSDP access control cables, designed to comply with European Commission standards. Because the cables meet criteria for flame spread, heat release and smoke production, they can reliably connect security and access control systems while ensuring high performance in the event of a fire. The NewGen Multi-Conductor & Pair LSZH cable portfolio has expanded to include products with enhanced flame ratings that comply with European Construction Products Regulation (CPR) guidelines. The cables offer a LSZH design with enhanced safety features that allow them to perform in case of fire. Belden’s EN/IEC-rated Classics/Electron ics portfolio now includes LSZH jacketed paired and multi-conductor cables that provide enhanced resistance to fire to meet European CPR guidelines.
