A coding apparatus is mounted on a jumper cable. The coding apparatus includes a plurality of coding symbols. A selection mechanism is part of the coding apparatus and is operable to reveal a selected plurality of coding symbols of the plurality of coding symbols. The selected plurality of coding symbols, in combination, provide a code identifying a connection location for the jumper cable.

A cable routing fastener includes a body and an optional arm extending therefrom, a head projecting from the body, a cover adjacent the arm so movement of the cover is temporarily restricted by the arm, and a cable connector. The body inserts into an aperture in a panel and positions the head and cable connector adjacent the panel. The head includes an indicia element indicating assembly status of the fastener, i.e., whether it is properly installed or not. The cover conceals the element in a concealed mode, and moves relative to the head to an exposed mode so the indicia element is exposed for reading. The arm moves when the body is inserted so the arm no longer interferes with movement of the cover, so the cover can be moved by a user, transitioning from the concealed mode to the exposed mode. A related method of use is provided.

A cable marker strip includes two rows of cable markers which are arranged behind one another in a cable direction. The cable marker strip includes a labeling track which has one labeling surface for each cable marker, wherein one fastening structure is provided for each cable marker on a fastening surface of the labeling track. The fastening surface lies opposite the labeling surface and has a connecting track and two holding limbs which are connected to the connecting track, which lie opposite one another, and together define a cable receptacle. Starting from the connecting track, spacing the holding limbs from one another decreases in the region of the cable receptacle so that the cable receptacle tapers. A printer for printing the cable marker strip and a method for printing the cable marker strip by way of the printer are also provided. The printer includes a print head which is arranged above pressure bars for the rows of cable markers.

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.

A telecommunications component includes an outer housing that includes a badge holder. The badge holder is configured to receive a badge. The badge is configured to be inserted into the badge holder. The badge includes a feature that is identifying of the source of the telecommunications component and the feature is at least one of a logo, a specific color, text information, a barcode, a QR code, and a RFID tag. The badge includes a pair of arms extending from opposing sides to engage with the badge holder of outer housing. The badge includes a securing feature that is configured to secure the badge within the badge holder.

The invention proposes a decoration device for a system for distributing a fluid product, including a fret, capable of being arranged around a neck of a reservoir, and capable of hiding distribution means, the device also including a decorative strip arranged around an outer face of a peripheral wall of the fret. The decoration device is characterized in that it includes means for axially blocking the strip with respect to the fret, and in that it includes means for rotationally blocking the strip with respect to the fret, the device having no adhesive means between the strip and the outer face of the peripheral wall.

A cable-labelling tag (1) for attaching to a cable (11), with a labelling surface (3), which is on a front side (2) and is designed for displaying a series of alphanumeric characters, and with a holder (5) on the opposite rear side (4). The holder (5) is geometrically and materially designed to be fixed in a labelling-tag-receiving pocket (6) of a labelling grommet (7). A having a labelling grommet (7) and such a cable-labelling tag (1) is also provided, along with cable (11) with such a kit fastened on it.

A self-laminating rotating cable marker label is constructed of a transparent film having a first adhesive area, an adhesive-free smooth area, and a second adhesive area. A print-on area forms one side of the transparent film, the print-on area adapted to receive indicia identifying the cable about which the marker label is applied. A perforation extends across the transparent film providing a line of separation of the transparent film. When wrapped around a cable, the second adhesive area overlies the print-on area such that the cable identifying indicia is visible through the transparent second adhesive area. As the transparent film is wrapped around the cable, the first adhesive area adheres to the cable. The remainder of the transparent film is rotated, breaking the perforation, whereby the smooth area of the film in contact with the cable provides smooth rotation of the label around the cable.
