ROTATING LABEL FOR FASTER CABLE TROUBLESHOOTING

B eing able to identify cables quickly can be of major importance in data centres and other industrial settings. Brady Corporation’s new Rotating Label enables users to easily rotate a cable label to make its print legible from any angle, in order to increase troubleshooting speed and efficiency. Brady’s B-427 self-laminating Rotating Label version can increase the speed of cable identification because its print can be read from any angle. The label can be rotated around a cable thanks to a non- adhesive printable zone and a translucent, self-adhesive laminate that is wrapped around a cable. Increasing the speed of cable identification can be of major importance for troubleshooting and helps to avoid time loss or human errors. The new Rotating Label is part of Brady’s reliable, industrial grade labels for cables and components that stay attached and remain legible long after they are applied. They can easily be designed with

Brady Workstation apps to include any text, serial number, barcode, QR code or other data before printing on a Brady printer. Compatible printers include the BBP12, BBP33, BradyPrinter i5100, BradyPrinter i7100, BradyPrinter M611, BMP61 and BMP71. In addition to reliable labels, label design apps and printers, Brady can provide custom identifica- tion solutions through a consultative on-site ap- proach.
