DOTcard System Core Marker Transparent Sleeves (DOTsleeve21 or DOTsleeve30)

The transparent DOTsleeve has two recesses, one for the wire / cable and one for the label. The DOTcard2130 core identification
system has two distinct advantages over other systems available on the market today. The first being that should the core indent require changing after the wire has been connected, simply slide the old label out before sliding the new one in. There’s no need to disconnect, reconnect and retest the circuit.

The second advantage is that should the information to be printed onto the DOTcard2130 core indents not be available at the time the Engineers are ready to connect the wires and test the circuit, the Engineers can simply slide the DOTsleeves into place, connect the wires and test the circuit and the printed core indent can be slid into the DOTsleeve as and when the information becomes available.

Both the DOTsleeve21 and the DOTsleeve30 are available in a range of core diameters (see table below) and are manufactured from
a flexible PVC for ease of installation.
