What are Sleevings and Markers?
Sleevings and Markers are used to protect and identify cables and wires. They’re usually made from PVC as it’s durable and flexible. Sleevings and markers are essential for preventing damage and making it a lot easier to identify wires.
Sleevings are protective covers you can place over electrical wires that are tough, flexible, and resistant to wear and tear.
Markers are printed sleeves cut to length that are used to identify different wires. These markers can be placed around the wire making it easier to tell which is which in a bundle.
At K. Lacey, we offer a range of sleevings and printed markers to help you with cable management and protection.
