Why Choose the Partex PCA2-BW Clip-Around Interlocking Cable Marker?
The Partex PCA2-BW is a practical clip-around, interlocking cable identification marker designed for clear and reliable marking of electrical wires and cables in industrial control panels, machinery and electrical installations. Part of the Partex PCA cable marking range, this marker features black identification on a white background, providing excellent contrast for easy recognition during installation, inspection, maintenance and fault-finding.
Designed for insulated cables with an outside diameter of 3.6–6.0 mm, the PCA2-BW uses a convenient clip-around installation method that allows markers to be fitted around an existing conductor without sliding them over the cable end. This makes it particularly useful for completed wiring installations where cables have already been terminated. Its interlocking construction allows individual markers to be combined into organised identification sequences.
The Partex PCA2-BW is supplied in a convenient format of 10 strips containing 32 markers each, providing a total of 320 markers. This makes it a practical choice for electrical contractors, panel builders, automation engineers and industrial maintenance teams requiring consistent cable identification across larger wiring projects.

Interlocking Clip-Around Identification for Existing Wiring
Clear and consistent cable identification is essential for safe electrical installation, efficient maintenance and accurate fault-finding. The Partex PCA2-BW clip-around cable marker provides a convenient solution for identifying insulated conductors with outside diameters between 3.6 mm and 6.0 mm. Its high-contrast black-on-white format helps engineers distinguish identification characters and trace wiring within control cabinets, switchgear assemblies and industrial equipment.
Unlike conventional slide-on cable markers, which normally require access to an unterminated conductor end, the PCA2-BW clip-around design allows markers to be installed directly around an existing cable. This is particularly advantageous during maintenance, equipment upgrades and electrical panel refurbishment, where disconnecting a terminated conductor solely to add identification may be inconvenient.
The interlocking construction allows compatible markers to be assembled into identification sequences, helping create clear wire numbers, terminal references and equipment codes. Markers should be fitted in the required order and positioned where they remain accessible for inspection. The cable's actual outside diameter, including insulation, must fall within the specified 3.6–6.0 mm range to achieve an appropriate fit.
Supplied as 10 strips of 32 markers, the PCA2-BW provides 320 individual markers for repetitive identification tasks. The strip format helps keep markers organised and readily available during panel assembly, installation and maintenance work.
Typical Applications
- Industrial electrical control panels and switchgear assemblies.
- PLC cabinets and industrial automation systems.
- Existing electrical installations requiring additional cable identification.
- Terminated wiring in machinery and electrical equipment.
- Motor control centres and electrical distribution cabinets.
- Electrical panel refurbishment and equipment upgrades.
- Wire numbering and terminal reference identification.
- OEM equipment manufacturing and panel building.
- Industrial maintenance, inspection and fault-finding.
- Commercial and industrial electrical installations requiring interlocking cable markers.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Partex PCA2-BW cable marker used for?
The Partex PCA2-BW is a clip-around, interlocking cable identification marker used to identify electrical wires and cables in industrial control panels, machinery, switchgear and other electrical installations.
What cable diameter is suitable for the Partex PCA2-BW?
The PCA2-BW is designed for insulated cables with an outside diameter of 3.6–6.0 mm. The cable's overall insulated diameter should be measured before selecting the marker.
Can the Partex PCA2-BW be installed on an already terminated cable?
Yes. The PCA2-BW uses a clip-around mounting method, allowing it to be fitted around an existing insulated conductor without sliding the marker over the cable end. This makes it particularly useful for completed wiring installations and maintenance work.
What does interlocking mean on the Partex PCA2-BW?
The interlocking design allows compatible individual cable markers to be connected into identification sequences. This helps create organised wire numbers, terminal references and other cable identification codes.
What colour is the Partex PCA2-BW marker?
The PCA2-BW features black identification on a white background, providing high visual contrast for easy recognition in electrical wiring assemblies.
How many markers are supplied in a pack of Partex PCA2-BW?
The Partex PCA2-BW is supplied as 10 strips containing 32 markers each, giving a total of 320 individual cable markers per pack.
Does the Partex PCA2-BW require adhesive?
No. The PCA2-BW uses a mechanical clip-around installation method and does not normally require adhesive. Selecting the correct marker size is important for achieving a suitable fit around the cable insulation.
What is the difference between clip-around and slide-on cable markers?
Clip-around markers such as the PCA2-BW can be fitted around an existing insulated cable without access to its end. Slide-on markers are passed over an accessible cable end and are generally installed before the conductor is terminated.
Is the Partex PCA2-BW suitable for electrical control panels?
Yes. The PCA2-BW is suitable for identifying appropriately sized insulated conductors in electrical control panels, PLC cabinets, motor control centres, switchgear assemblies and industrial machinery wiring.
