[TowerTalk] Marking cables for identification

[Wayne Kline]

Rich,



There are a number of wire marking scheams from tags to Label  maker . I use the label maker for my all my hardline  13 runs and also for the RG213/214  . theses are all inside WX boxes not exposed to the weather/Sun.   for all inside distabution of the RG400 I use a phase color code system  .

I use the  3 M color code system for  each tower then a breakdown  example  my 15 meter tower is GREEN  each  beam is Green  and then ¼ green stripes for the three antennas.  And Green and one stipe blue for the 160 delta look on the tower.



For control line I use rotor. Phase box  4sq. ect I have a  BIBLE with the line color to the tower and then a  3-M wire marking kit which is numbers. ( number work better for me because not all cables manufactures have the same # of wire or color scheam.

Rich,

In my professional life I deal with control cables and the like.  Several different marking systems out there.  Bear in mind, my cables are rarely exposed to water or sun, if at all.  Half are exposed to temperature (outdoor).  Google is your friend.  Search for "cable markers" or other such descriptions and see what you like.
