Why Choose the Partex PT+10/12 Transparent 12 mm Marker Holder?
The Partex PT+10/12 is a professional 12 mm transparent cable marker holder, designed to provide clear and secure identification of electrical wires and cables. Supplied in a convenient pack of 200 holders, this compact identification sleeve combines a closed slide-on mounting profile with a protective transparent pocket for printed marker inserts.
Part of the Partex PT+ series, the PT+10/12 is designed for cables with an approximate outside diameter of 2.5–5.0 mm. Its 12 mm length makes it suitable for short cable numbers, terminal references and other concise electrical identification codes.
The holder incorporates a specially designed pocket that accommodates compatible Partex PFC042 and PP+046 marking profiles. The transparent pocket protects the inserted marker from direct contact and helps keep the identification securely positioned while allowing the printed information to remain visible.
Manufactured from transparent PVC, the PT+10/12 is suitable for electrical panel building, industrial automation, machinery wiring and maintenance applications. The holder is fitted onto the cable before termination, while the printed identification insert can be added or replaced either before or after the cable is connected.

Protective Transparent Pocket for Clear Electrical Identification
The Partex PT+10/12 features an integrated transparent pocket designed to hold a compatible printed marker insert. This pocket separates the identification material from direct handling and helps maintain a clear, readable reference throughout the cable's service life.
The transparent construction allows printed cable numbers, terminal references and other alphanumeric information to remain visible without requiring the identification to be printed directly onto the holder itself.
This approach is particularly useful in electrical control panels and machinery installations where cable identification must correspond accurately to wiring diagrams and terminal schedules. A consistent marking system helps engineers locate conductors during installation, commissioning and maintenance.
Because the insert is held within a dedicated pocket, identification can be prepared separately and added when required. The holder and the printed insert work together to provide a flexible electrical marking solution.
Secure Closed Slide-On Design for Electrical Wires
The PT+10/12 uses a closed sleeve design that is fitted over the cable before the conductor is terminated. When correctly sized, the sleeve sits around the cable insulation and holds the marker pocket in a convenient position for identification.
The PT+10 profile is intended for cable outside diameters of approximately 2.5–5.0 mm. This corresponds to typical conductor sizes of approximately 0.75–4.0 mm², although the actual fit depends on the thickness and construction of the cable insulation.
Unlike self-adhesive labels, the PT+10/12 does not rely on an adhesive surface for attachment. It also avoids the need for separate cable ties in standard applications.
The closed construction means the holder itself must normally be installed while the cable end is accessible. However, the printed identification insert can be fitted later, allowing cable termination and final identification to be completed at different stages of a project.
Compatible PFC and PP+ Printed Marker Inserts
The Partex PT+10/12 is designed for use with suitable PFC042 and PP+046 identification profiles. These marking materials can be printed with the required references and inserted into the holder's transparent pocket.
The ability to prepare identification separately from the cable holder can simplify production. Panel builders can install holders during wiring and insert the final printed references once the cable schedule has been confirmed.
This arrangement also provides flexibility during maintenance or system modification. If a cable reference changes, the identification insert can be replaced without removing the holder from the conductor, provided the pocket remains accessible.
For consistent results, use marker inserts of the correct profile and length. The PT+10/12 is a 12 mm holder, so printed identification must be formatted to fit the available insert space.
Compact 12 mm Identification for Control Panels
Space can be limited inside electrical control cabinets, particularly around terminal strips and densely populated wiring ducts. The 12 mm length of the PT+10/12 provides a compact identification format suitable for short cable and terminal references.
Its transparent design helps keep the printed insert visible while reducing the visual bulk associated with larger identification plates or cable-tie tags.
For panel builders and electrical contractors, consistent marker dimensions can help maintain a neat, professional appearance across control wiring and electrical assemblies.
Where longer identification strings are required, alternative PT+ holder lengths are available within the Partex range. The appropriate size should be selected according to the reference length, cable diameter and available installation space.
Reliable Identification for Industrial Electrical Systems
The Partex PT+ range is manufactured from PVC and has a published operating temperature range of −30 to +60 °C. This makes it suitable for consideration in appropriately specified electrical panel and industrial machinery environments.
The transparent sleeve protects the printed insert from direct contact and helps keep the identification positioned during routine handling and maintenance.
Clear cable identification can reduce the time required to trace wiring and compare connections with electrical documentation. It also supports organised commissioning and future equipment modifications.
For installations that specifically require halogen-free marker holders, Partex offers the separate PTZ+ range. The standard PT+10/12 described here is a PVC product and should not be represented as halogen-free.
Installation Guide
Before installation, check that the cable's outside diameter falls within the recommended 2.5–5.0 mm fitting range. Select the holder according to the actual insulated cable diameter rather than conductor cross-sectional area alone.
Slide the PT+10/12 holder over the accessible cable end before termination. Position it where the identification will remain visible and where it will not interfere with terminal connections or adjacent components.
Prepare the required identification using a compatible Partex marker profile and printing system. Cut or separate the printed insert to the correct length and slide it into the transparent pocket.
The printed insert may be installed before or after the cable is terminated, provided the holder is already fitted and its pocket remains accessible.
Important: The PT+10/12 is a transparent holder for separate identification inserts. It is not a self-adhesive marker, cable-tie marker or heat-shrink sleeve.
