Why Choose the Partex PCA1-BW Clip-Around Cable Marker?
The Partex PCA1-BW is a professional black-on-white clip-around, interlocking cable marker designed for clear and organised identification of electrical cables and conductors. Part of the Partex PCA cable marking range, these markers are suitable for cables with an outside diameter of 2.2–3.6 mm, providing a practical identification solution for control panels, industrial machinery and electrical equipment.
Unlike conventional slide-on cable markers, the clip-around design allows markers to be fitted around compatible cables without requiring access to an unterminated cable end. This makes the PCA1-BW particularly useful for identifying cables in existing installations, during maintenance work or after electrical connections have been completed. The interlocking design allows individual markers to be assembled into organised identification sequences.
Featuring black identification characters on a white background, the PCA1-BW offers high-contrast marking for easy conductor recognition. Supplied as 10 strips of 32 markers, providing 320 markers in total, this pack offers a convenient solution for electricians, control panel manufacturers and maintenance engineers carrying out repetitive cable identification tasks.
Key Advantages
- Clip-around installation allows identification of compatible cables without requiring access to the cable end.

Interlocking Cable Identification Without Disconnecting Conductors
Clear cable identification is essential for accurate electrical installation, efficient maintenance and reliable fault finding. The Partex PCA1-BW provides a convenient alternative to slide-on markers by using a clip-around fitting method that can be applied to compatible cables without removing existing electrical terminations. This makes it especially useful for retrofit identification, control panel modifications and maintenance work where disconnecting conductors would be inconvenient.
For correct installation, measure the overall outside diameter of the insulated cable and confirm that it falls within the specified 2.2–3.6 mm range. Select the required identification markers from the strips, position them around the cable and engage the clip-around fitting according to the manufacturer's instructions. Arrange and interlock the markers in the intended reading order to create a clear identification sequence. Check that the completed marking is securely fitted, readable and does not damage the cable insulation.
Typical Applications
- Electrical control panel cable and conductor identification.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Partex PCA1-BW used for?
The Partex PCA1-BW is a black-on-white clip-around, interlocking cable marker used to identify electrical cables and conductors. It is suitable for control panels, industrial machinery, electrical equipment and maintenance applications where clear cable identification is required.
What cable size does the Partex PCA1-BW fit?
The PCA1-BW is designed for cables with an outside diameter of 2.2–3.6 mm. This measurement refers to the overall diameter of the insulated cable, not the conductor cross-sectional area in mm².
Can Partex PCA1-BW markers be fitted to cables that are already terminated?
Yes. The clip-around design allows PCA1-BW markers to be fitted around compatible cables without sliding them over the cable end. This makes them useful for identifying already-terminated conductors during maintenance, modifications and retrofit work.
How many markers are included in a pack of Partex PCA1-BW?
Each pack contains 10 strips of 32 markers, providing a total of 320 individual cable markers. The specific character or symbol configuration should be confirmed against the supplied product variant.
What is the benefit of the interlocking design?
The interlocking design allows individual cable markers to be assembled into organised identification sequences. Combined with the clip-around fitting method and high-contrast black-on-white marking, this provides a practical solution for identifying cables during installation and maintenance.
