After installing cable labels, in order to ensure their long-term effectiveness and readability, the following points need to be noted:


1、 Label protection

Avoid covering or wrapping: Ensure that the label is not covered on or wrapped by the insulation tube to avoid affecting the identification effect and insulation performance of the label.

Corrosion resistance: The selected label material should have corrosion resistance, be able to resist chemical substances and physical wear in the environment, and ensure that the label remains clear and readable during long-term use.

High and low temperature resistance: The label material should be able to adapt to different temperature environments without deformation, detachment, or blurred handwriting due to high or low temperatures.

2、 Label position and direction

Location selection: The label should be pasted in a location that is easy to observe and not easily obstructed, while avoiding being pasted in areas where the cable is bent or prone to wear, in order to extend the service life of the label.

Consistent direction: For labels of multiple cables, the direction of the labels should be kept consistent for unified management and identification. For example, when the cable is laid vertically, the label should face to the right; When the cable is laid horizontally, the label should face downwards.

3、 Label content and specifications

Accurate content: The information on the label should be accurate and without errors, including key information such as cable number, starting and ending end information, cable type, etc.

Format specification: The format of the label should comply with relevant identification specifications, such as text size, font, color, etc., to ensure the clarity and readability of the label.

Compliance with standards: The label content should comply with relevant national or industry standards to ensure the standardization and uniformity of identification.

4、 Label management and maintenance

Regular inspection: Regularly inspect cable labels to ensure their integrity and readability. If the label is found to be detached, blurry or damaged, it should be replaced or repaired in a timely manner.

Avoid human damage: During maintenance and operation, avoid causing human damage to cable labels, such as tearing, scratching, etc.

Update and replacement: When there are changes in cable information, the label content should be updated in a timely manner. For aging or damaged labels, they should be replaced in a timely manner.

5、 Precautions for special environments

Damp environment: In damp environments, label materials with moisture-proof properties should be selected to prevent labels from falling off or blurring due to moisture.

High temperature environment: In high temperature environments, high-temperature resistant label materials should be selected, and the label should be firmly attached and not easily peeled off.

Strong magnetic field environment: In a strong magnetic field environment, it should be ensured that the label material is not affected by the magnetic field to maintain the clarity and readability of the label.


In summary, after installing cable labels, attention should be paid to label protection, location and orientation, content and specifications, management and maintenance, as well as precautions in special environments. By strengthening the management of these aspects, the long-term effectiveness and readability of cable labels can be ensured, and the efficiency and accuracy of cable management can be improved.
