Why Choose the Partex PA3-MCC Size E Colour-Coded Chevron Cable Marker?
The Partex PA3-MCC is a practical slide-on, colour-coded chevron cable marker designed for clear identification of larger insulated electrical cables in industrial, commercial and engineering installations. Part of the Partex PA3 cable marking range, this Size E marker provides a convenient method of identifying conductors in electrical control panels, machinery, switchgear and power distribution equipment.
Designed for cables with an outside diameter of 8.0–16.0 mm, the PA3-MCC is suitable for larger insulated conductors where smaller slide-on markers may not provide an appropriate fit. Its chevron-style construction supports neat, consistent identification, while the colour-coded format helps distinguish conductors and identification references within complex wiring systems.
The Partex PA3-MCC is supplied as a loose multipack, providing a convenient format for electrical contractors, panel builders, maintenance engineers and equipment manufacturers carrying out repetitive cable marking tasks. Its slide-on installation method eliminates the need for adhesive labels, making it a useful choice for projects requiring organised, easily identifiable wiring.

Colour-Coded Identification for Larger Industrial Cables
Accurate cable identification is essential for maintaining organised electrical installations and supporting efficient inspection, maintenance and fault-finding. The Partex PA3-MCC Size E colour-coded cable marker provides a practical solution for identifying insulated conductors with outside diameters between 8.0 mm and 16.0 mm. Its colour-coded format helps technicians distinguish identification references and locate the correct conductors within larger wiring assemblies.
The slide-on design allows the marker to be fitted over an accessible cable end and moved into its required identification position. Installation is generally most convenient before the cable is terminated. Unlike adhesive labels, slide-on markers are positioned directly around the cable insulation, making correct size selection important for achieving an appropriate fit.
The specified 8.0–16.0 mm cable diameter range refers to the overall outside diameter of the insulated cable, not the conductor's nominal cross-sectional area. Installers should measure the cable insulation and confirm that it falls within the stated range before fitting the marker. The colour-coded marking arrangement should also be matched to the project's identification schedule, as colour meanings can differ between installations.
Supplied as a loose multipack, the PA3-MCC is convenient for projects involving repeated identification of larger cables. Its chevron-style format supports consistent marking across industrial machinery, control cabinets and electrical distribution systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Partex PA3-MCC cable marker used for?
The Partex PA3-MCC is a colour-coded, slide-on chevron cable marker used to identify larger insulated electrical cables in industrial control panels, machinery, switchgear and electrical distribution installations.
What cable diameter is suitable for the Partex PA3-MCC?
The PA3-MCC is a Size E marker suitable for insulated cables with an outside diameter of 8.0–16.0 mm. The cable's overall insulated diameter should be checked before selecting the marker.
What does colour coded mean for the Partex PA3-MCC?
The PA3-MCC uses a colour-coded identification format to help distinguish cable references within an electrical installation. The specific colours and their meanings should be checked against the applicable marking system and project identification requirements.
How is the Partex PA3-MCC installed?
The marker is installed by sliding it over an accessible end of a compatible insulated cable and moving it into the required identification position. It is normally fitted before the conductor is terminated.
Does the Partex PA3-MCC require adhesive?
No. The PA3-MCC uses a slide-on mounting method and does not normally require adhesive. Correct sizing is important to achieve a suitable fit around the cable insulation.
What is the difference between the Partex PA3-MCC and PA3-MBY?
Both products are Partex PA3 Size E slide-on chevron markers for insulated cable diameters of 8.0–16.0 mm and are supplied as loose multipacks. The PA3-MCC is colour coded, whereas the PA3-MBY features black marking on a yellow background.
Is the PA3-MCC suitable for industrial control panels?
Yes. The PA3-MCC is suitable for identifying appropriately sized insulated cables in industrial control panels, motor control centres, switchgear assemblies, automation equipment and machinery wiring systems.
How is the Partex PA3-MCC supplied?
The Partex PA3-MCC is supplied as a loose multipack, providing a convenient format for repetitive cable identification tasks. The exact number of markers per multipack should be confirmed from the applicable product listing.
Can the Partex PA3-MCC be fitted after cable termination?
As a slide-on cable marker, the PA3-MCC generally requires access to a cable end for installation. It is therefore normally fitted before termination. If a cable is already terminated, installation may require the conductor to be safely disconnected before the marker can be fitted.
