# Stainless Cable Tags: The Ultimate Solution for Durable Cable Identification ## Why Stainless Cable Tags Are Essential for Industrial Applications In my years working as an industrial electrician, I've handled countless cable management projects across manufacturing plants and construction sites. One consistent challenge has been finding identification solutions that withstand harsh environments. I vividly remember a project at a coastal processing facility where standard plastic tags deteriorated within months due to salt spray and UV exposure. That experience led me to discover the remarkable durability of stainless steel cable tags, which completely transformed how I approach permanent cable identification. ### Technical Specifications of Premium Stainless Cable Tags When selecting stainless cable tags for critical applications, understanding their technical parameters ensures optimal performance: **Material Composition:** - Grade 304 Stainless Steel (18% chromium, 8% nickel) - Grade 316 Marine-Grade Stainless (16% chromium, 10% nickel, 2% molybdenum) - Thickness: 0.5mm to 1.2mm standard range - Surface finish: Brushed, polished, or electroplated options **Physical Dimensions:** - Standard sizes: 20mm × 10mm, 25mm × 15mm, 30mm × 20mm - Cable diameter compatibility: 3mm to 25mm - Hole diameter: 2.5mm to 4mm - Edge radius: 0.5mm minimum for safety **Marking Technology:** - Laser engraving depth: 0.1mm to 0.3mm - Character height: 1.5mm to 4mm - Barcode compatibility: QR codes, Data Matrix, linear barcodes - Information capacity: Up to 50 alphanumeric characters **Environmental Ratings:** - Temperature resistance: -200°C to 800°C continuous - Corrosion resistance: 1000+ hours salt spray testing - UV resistance: Permanent, no degradation - Chemical resistance: Withstands oils, solvents, acids (pH 1-13) **Note:** These technical parameters represent industry benchmark data.
