Conductor identification may be provided. A first sleeve may be placed around a first conductor and a second sleeve around a second conductor. Next, a first tag may be placed on the first conductor and a second tag on the second conductor. Then, the first conductor and the second conductor may be pulled together through a conduit. The first conductor may slideably move through the first sleeve and the second conductor may slideably move through the second sleeve as the first conductor and the second conductor are pulled together through the conduit.

Apparatus adapted for attachment to transmission lines, the apparatus comprising a warning marker; and a warning marker application tool for applying the warning marker to transmission lines; wherein the warning marker comprises: at least one securing means adapted to engage the transmission lines; a first handle and a second handle each connected to the at least one securing means; a spring-biased clamp means adjacent the proximal end at the least one securing means; an attachment means adjacent the at least one securing means; and wherein the application tool comprises: a base means; a first protrusion and a second protrusion each protruding from a surface of the base means; a screw mechanism attached to the base means; wherein the first protrusion and the second protrusion are each adapted to releasably engage with the first handle and the second handle respectively, to position and clamp the warning marker to the transmission lines.

The invention relates to a labeling profile for marking electrical installations, comprising a labeling region which has a cover surface to be labeled, and comprising a support region which connects to the labeling region facing away from the cover surface, wherein, when viewed in a cross-section transverse to the longitudinal extension, at least sections of the support region have a smaller width than the labeling region, wherein the labeling profile has a constant cross-section when viewed along its longitudinal extension and wherein the labeling profile has spaced-apart, optically detectable position markers on at least one surface facing away from the cover surface, wherein intermediate regions are formed between the position markers and wherein the position markers have in particular reflective properties which differ from the intermediate regions.

The present invention provides an identifiable armored cable sheath. In accordance with an aspect of the present invention, there is provided an identifiable armored cable sheath comprising: an armored cable sheath having an outer surface, and a visual indicia applied on the outer surface of the cable sheath in a patterned arrangement, wherein the visual indicia possesses visibility features in low light.

The present disclosure describes cable cuffs. A cable cuff may include a first half including a main body with a first cable recess and a first securing feature, and a second half including a main body with a second cable recess and a second securing feature. The first cable recess may include a first flex retention section and the second cable recess may include a second flex retention section. The first half and the second half may be connected via a hinge. The first half is mated with the second half such that the first and second cable recesses form a pocket for receiving and grasping a cable. The first and second securing features engage to maintain the first half and the second half in a mated condition. The first and second flex retention sections reside within and extend into the pocket to engage a cable grasped therein. Cable management systems are also provided herein.

Applicants have discovered that an inexpensive marker tape can be made from some of the components used in applicants Signal Tape disclosed in PCT/US2017/050405. This marker tape, called Spartan Marker Tape, has elongated upper and lower protective layers made from a thermoplastic material which are laminated together with a locating device inside the laminated layers. Various locating devices may be used in the Spartan Marker Tape, such as conventional RF or RFID tags. In addition, magnetic tags, or radioactive tags may be used. Of course, classis marker wire may also be used as a locating device.

A bistable automatic cable wrap for being wrapped around a cable or wire has a stable extended state in which the bistable automatic cable wrap extends essentially along a longitudinal direction. The bistable automatic cable wrap automatically adopts a stable wound state if deformed in the extended state.

A method for determining the length of a line involves determining a length of a first electrical line, determining an identifier of the first electrical line, determining a length of a second electrical line, which is intended for installation in an electrical installation assembly, based on the length of the first electrical line and a starting length determined by means of the identifier.

Indicia elements are added to telecommunications components to identify the source of the telecommunications component. Indicia elements can include at least one of a logo, a specific color (e.g. a color different from a non-indicative base color of the telecommunications component), text information, a barcode, a QR code, and a RFID tag. The indicia elements can aid in identifying or tracing network connections, identifying types of connectors and/or cables, labeling the network connections, and identifying a network operator in a multi-network environment.
