Why Choose the Partex PA1-CBW Black-on-White Slide-On Chevron Cable Marker?
The Partex PA1-CBW is a professional slide-on chevron cable identification marker designed for clear, consistent and organised identification of electrical cables and conductors. Part of the established Partex PA1 cable marking range, this size C marker is suitable for cables with an outside diameter of 2.5–5.0 mm, making it a practical choice for electrical control panels, industrial automation systems, machinery wiring and general electrical installations.
Featuring a black-on-white identification format, the PA1-CBW provides clear visual contrast to support straightforward recognition of cable references and conductor identification sequences. The chevron-style marker profile is designed for arranging individual identification characters together, allowing installers to create organised cable marking sequences that correspond with electrical drawings, terminal schedules and equipment documentation.
The slide-on installation method enables the marker to be fitted directly onto a compatible cable or insulated conductor while its end is accessible. This makes the PA1-CBW particularly suitable for new electrical installations, control panel production and workshop cable preparation, where identification markers can be positioned before final conductor termination.
Supplied in disc format, the Partex PA1-CBW provides a convenient presentation for professional cable marking applications. Its combination of size C cable compatibility, high-contrast identification and practical slide-on construction makes it a useful component of a structured electrical identification system.

Reliable Black-on-White Cable Identification for Professional Wiring
Accurate cable identification is essential for safe, organised and efficient electrical installation work. The Partex PA1-CBW slide-on chevron cable marker provides a practical way to identify individual conductors using high-contrast black-on-white characters that can be arranged into the required marking sequence.
The size C configuration is specified for cables with an outside diameter between 2.5 mm and 5.0 mm. Correct marker selection is important because the stated size range relates to the overall diameter of the insulated cable, not the conductor's nominal cross-sectional area. Two cables with the same conductor cross-section may have different outside diameters depending on their insulation construction.
The slide-on design is particularly suitable for wiring assembly before final termination. With the conductor end accessible, the required markers can be threaded onto the cable in the correct sequence and positioned where the identification will remain visible. This helps installers match conductor references to wiring diagrams, terminal numbering schedules and equipment documentation.
The chevron profile supports the grouping of individual identification characters into a continuous reference. The black characters against a white background provide clear visual contrast, helping technicians recognise cable numbers and connection references during installation, inspection and maintenance.
For dependable results, the marker should be selected according to the actual cable diameter and fitted without excessive force. Markers should not be installed on cables outside the specified size range, and their final position should not interfere with conductor termination, bending requirements or adjacent components.
The disc supply format makes the PA1-CBW a practical choice for professional cable marking operations. The exact character selection and quantity supplied should be checked against the relevant disc configuration when planning identification requirements.
By combining a recognised Partex PA1 slide-on identification system with high-contrast black-on-white marking, the PA1-CBW supports consistent conductor identification across electrical control cabinets, machinery installations and industrial maintenance environments.
