Cable Tags & Cable Labels
Engraved traffolyte cable identification tags for sparkies, contractors, and industrial installations. Any size, permanent and legible for the life of the cable.
Permanent Cable Identification
Cable tags exist to answer the question every electrician eventually asks: what is this cable, and where does it go? The answer matters during commissioning, maintenance, fault-finding, and emergency isolation — and it matters most when the tag has to survive years of heat, UV, vibration, and chemical exposure without becoming illegible.
Engraved traffolyte tags stay legible for the life of the cable. Printed or handwritten tags fade and peel; Dymo tape degrades in hot switchboards and outdoor trays. For commercial and industrial work, engraved identification is the expected standard.
What Goes On a Cable Tag
- • Circuit or cable number
- • Voltage and phase
- • Source (e.g. MSB-1 CB12)
- • Destination (e.g. DB-3A)
- • Cable size / type (4C+E 2.5mm²)
- • Project / asset reference
Typical Applications
Engraved Traffolyte — The Australian Standard
We make our cable tags from engraved traffolyte laminate — the same material used for compliant switchboard labels across Australia. UV-stable, heat-tolerant, chemical-resistant, and legible for 20+ years without maintenance.
Available in every common colour combination — white on black for general identification, white on red for danger and warning tags, black on yellow for caution, and more. All colours and sizes configurable in the online Label Designer with instant pricing.

Common Questions
What information should go on a cable tag?
The standard content is circuit or cable number, voltage, source (e.g. MSB-1 CB12), and destination. For multi-core cables the phase colour designation is commonly added. Industrial installations often add a project reference and asset ID.
How are cable tags attached to cables?
Most cable tags are fitted with 3–5mm mounting holes on either end for cable ties, stainless wire, or plastic straps. Specify hole positions in the Label Designer or attach a template — we'll match it.
What material is used for the cable tags?
Engraved traffolyte — the Australian standard for cable and switchboard identification. UV-stable, heat-tolerant, chemically resistant, and legible for 20+ years. Available in every common colour combination.
What sizes are standard for cable tags?
Common sizes are 50×15mm, 75×25mm, and 100×30mm for general identification. Heavy industrial tags go up to 150×50mm. Our Label Designer accepts any custom dimension.
Can you supply cable tags for a full commercial or industrial project?
Yes — submit a spreadsheet or schedule via our Quick Quote form and we'll produce the full set. For ongoing trade work, subscription pricing plans reduce per-tag cost significantly.
