A cable flag must remain permanently legible – and match the respective cable surface and operating environment. Especially in outdoor applications, markings are exposed to extreme stresses: Moisture, UV radiation, temperature fluctuations, and other environmental influences place high demands on material, adhesion, and print durability.
This is precisely where our UL 969A / PGCT2 cable flags come in.
New: now also for outdoor applications
Our appropriately engineered cable flags are tested for outdoor applications, opening up additional possibilities wherever power and connection cables must be permanently and clearly marked, even under demanding environmental conditions.
It is not just the label itself that matters: what counts is the right combination of cable flag, cable jacket, printing, and operating environment.
Three Cable Types – Specifically Tested
During the development and testing of our cable flags, we took three different cable jacket materials into account:
PVC | PUR | TPU
Depending on the version, different variants are available for cable diameters, temperature ranges, surface protection, and TTR post-printing.
Limited Slippage – Particularly Relevant for Specific UL Applications
Another key advantage of our correspondingly listed versions: They feature a passed limited-slippage rating.
This means the corresponding cable flags meet the requirements regarding permissible slippage along the cable. This is particularly relevant for applications where the respective UL end-product standard requires marking with a limited-slippage rating.
UL 969A with a limited-slippage rating is referenced, for example, as a potential marking solution in various applications and end-product standards – including:
Which version is suitable for each specific application always depends on the exact combination of cable type, cable flag, and operating conditions.
Available from Just 15 mm Width
Especially with small cable diameters, space, flexibility, and reliable identification are critical. Our corresponding UL cable flags are already available from a minimum width of 15 mm.
This combines an exceptionally compact labeling solution with:
UL 969A / PGCT2 + Limited Slippage + Outdoor Suitability + from 15 mm Width
Retrospectively Customizable via TTR
Depending on the version, the cable flags can also be customized retrospectively using thermal transfer printing (TTR).
That is relevant, for example, for:
For these versions, selected TTR ribbons from RICOH, ARMOR, and DNP, among others, are designated. This allows markings to be applied flexibly by the customer or during subsequent stages of the production process.
From Garden Equipment to Industrial Systems
The range of applications is diverse. Our UL cable flags are suitable, for instance, for marking cables on:
This extends the application spectrum from power tools and garden equipment to industrial machinery and plants.
Elektrotechnik
Wherever cables must be clearly identified and reliable marking is required under demanding conditions, the right UL cable flag can play an important role.
UL Expertise Since 1990
Etikettendruck Förster has been a UL Authorized Label Supplier since 1990, offering decades of experience with UL-recognized marking solutions. Our approach is not to apply a standard off-the-shelf solution to every application.
Rather, we consider the specific application, the cable type, and the environmental conditions to determine the optimal label solution together with our customers.
