Why Choose the Partex PA1-CBW Black-on-White Slide-On Chevron Cable Marker?
The Partex PA1-CBW is a professional slide-on chevron cable identification marker designed for clear, consistent and organised identification of electrical cables and conductors. Part of the established Partex PA1 cable marking range, this size C marker is suitable for cables with an outside diameter of 2.5–5.0 mm, making it a practical choice for electrical control panels, industrial automation systems, machinery wiring and general electrical installations.
Featuring a black-on-white identification format, the PA1-CBW provides clear visual contrast to support straightforward recognition of cable references and conductor identification sequences. The chevron-style marker profile is designed for arranging individual identification characters together, allowing installers to create organised cable marking sequences that correspond with electrical drawings, terminal schedules and equipment documentation.
The slide-on installation method enables the marker to be fitted directly onto a compatible cable or insulated conductor while its end is accessible. This makes the PA1-CBW particularly suitable for new electrical installations, control panel production and workshop cable preparation, where identification markers can be positioned before final conductor termination.
Supplied in disc format, the Partex PA1-CBW provides a convenient presentation for professional cable marking applications. Its combination of size C cable compatibility, high-contrast identification and practical slide-on construction makes it a useful component of a structured electrical identification system.

Reliable Black-on-White Cable Identification for Professional Wiring
Accurate cable identification is essential for safe, organised and efficient electrical installation work. The Partex PA1-CBW slide-on chevron cable marker provides a practical way to identify individual conductors using high-contrast black-on-white characters that can be arranged into the required marking sequence.
The size C configuration is specified for cables with an outside diameter between 2.5 mm and 5.0 mm. Correct marker selection is important because the stated size range relates to the overall diameter of the insulated cable, not the conductor's nominal cross-sectional area. Two cables with the same conductor cross-section may have different outside diameters depending on their insulation construction.
The slide-on design is particularly suitable for wiring assembly before final termination. With the conductor end accessible, the required markers can be threaded onto the cable in the correct sequence and positioned where the identification will remain visible. This helps installers match conductor references to wiring diagrams, terminal numbering schedules and equipment documentation.
The chevron profile supports the grouping of individual identification characters into a continuous reference. The black characters against a white background provide clear visual contrast, helping technicians recognise cable numbers and connection references during installation, inspection and maintenance.
For dependable results, the marker should be selected according to the actual cable diameter and fitted without excessive force. Markers should not be installed on cables outside the specified size range, and their final position should not interfere with conductor termination, bending requirements or adjacent components.
The disc supply format makes the PA1-CBW a practical choice for professional cable marking operations. The exact character selection and quantity supplied should be checked against the relevant disc configuration when planning identification requirements.
By combining a recognised Partex PA1 slide-on identification system with high-contrast black-on-white marking, the PA1-CBW supports consistent conductor identification across electrical control cabinets, machinery installations and industrial maintenance environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Partex PA1-CBW used for?
The Partex PA1-CBW is a black-on-white slide-on chevron cable marker designed to identify electrical cables and conductors with outside diameters between 2.5 mm and 5.0 mm.
What cable diameter is suitable for the PA1-CBW?
The PA1-CBW is a size C marker designed for cables with an outside diameter of 2.5–5.0 mm. The cable should be measured across its insulation to confirm compatibility.
What colour is the Partex PA1-CBW?
The PA1-CBW uses a black-on-white identification format, with black identification characters displayed against a white marker background.
What does chevron mean for the PA1-CBW cable marker?
Chevron refers to the marker's profile, which is designed to support the arrangement of individual identification characters into cable marking sequences.
How are Partex PA1-CBW markers installed?
The markers are slid onto a compatible cable or conductor, normally before final termination while the cable end remains accessible. Individual characters should be arranged in the correct order to form the required cable reference.
Can the PA1-CBW be installed after a cable has been terminated?
Because the PA1-CBW uses a slide-on design, installation generally requires access to a free cable end. Where a conductor is already terminated at both ends, a compatible clip-on or wrap-around identification system may be more appropriate.
Does the 2.5–5.0 mm range refer to conductor cross-sectional area?
No. The 2.5–5.0 mm specification refers to the cable's outside diameter, including insulation. It does not indicate conductor cross-sectional area in square millimetres.
What does disc mean for the PA1-CBW?
Disc identifies the product's supply format within the Partex cable marking range. The exact marker quantity and character selection should be confirmed for the supplied disc configuration.
Can PA1-CBW markers be combined to create cable numbers?
Yes. Individual PA1 slide-on markers can be arranged in sequence to create cable numbers and other identification references, subject to the available characters and space on the conductor.
Are the PA1-CBW markers suitable for electrical control panels?
Yes. The PA1-CBW is suitable for electrical control panel wiring where conductors have an outside diameter of 2.5–5.0 mm and slide-on cable identification is appropriate for the installation.
What is the difference between PA1-CBW and PA1-250CC?
Both products are Partex PA1 size C slide-on chevron markers for cables measuring 2.5–5.0 mm in outside diameter. The PA1-CBW uses black-on-white identification and is supplied in disc format, while the PA1-250CC is a colour-coded handy pack containing 250 markers.
Does the PA1-CBW require a cable marking printer?
No. The PA1-CBW is a pre-marked slide-on cable identification product, so the supplied identification characters can be installed without an on-site cable marking printer.
