Panduit 100PK 2IN Simplex CBL YLW Sleeve FOR 2MM

Panduit NWSLC2-2Y 2-Inch Yellow PVC Cable Identification Sleeve for 2mm Simplex Cable

Overview

The Panduit NWSLC2-2Y is a yellow, flexible PVC identification sleeve engineered specifically for 2mm simplex cable — the type you'll encounter most often in fiber optic patching, structured cabling, and telecom infrastructure where individual core tracking is non-negotiable. At 2.25 inches (57.2mm) in length and 0.28 inches (7.1mm) in height, the sleeve sits flush over the cable jacket without adding bulk that interferes with connector mating or patch panel dress. Part of the LabelCore™ system, the NWSLC2-2Y is designed to work with two specific label formats: S200X150YAJ for laser and inkjet printers, and S200X150VATY for thermal transfer printers — meaning you can integrate this directly into an existing label-printing workflow rather than sourcing a separate consumable ecosystem. Sold in 100-piece packages (carton quantity 1,000), it scales cleanly from a single rack build-out to a full campus cable plant rollout.

Key Features

• Yellow Color Coding: Yellow is a widely adopted convention for marking specific fiber types, circuit classifications, or zone designations depending on your cabling standard. Using a consistent color across a structured cabling plant is what makes a technician's job survivable during a fault — this sleeve gives you that discipline at the individual fiber level.
• 2.25-Inch (57.2mm) Sleeve Length: Long enough to accommodate a printed label with readable alphanumeric characters and barcodes, but short enough to avoid interfering with connector boots or patch panel guides. This is the right length for terminated simplex fiber where space around the connector body is at a premium.
• Flexible PVC Construction: PVC slides onto 2mm simplex cable without cracking or splitting, and stays put without adhesive. Rigid sleeves crack at the bend; flexible PVC conforms to natural cable routing and resists the repeated handling that comes with moves, adds, and changes in active patch environments.
• LabelCore™ System Compatibility: The NWSLC2-2Y is explicitly designed to accept Panduit labels S200X150YAJ (laser/inkjet) and S200X150VATY (thermal transfer). This isn't generic — you're selecting into a defined label ecosystem where the sleeve aperture, label dimensions, and printer profiles are already matched. That eliminates the guesswork that leads to labels that slip, wrinkle, or are unreadable at density.
• RoHS Compliant: Meets the EU Restriction of Hazardous Substances directive, which matters for any installation destined for European infrastructure or projects operating under environmental compliance mandates. If you're building out for a multinational enterprise, this box is already checked.
• 100-Piece Package / 1,000-Piece Carton: The 100-piece package is the right unit for a single project or initial deployment; the 1,000-piece carton quantity means volume pricing is accessible when you're stocking a warehouse or running a large-scale structured cabling project. No partial-roll waste, no over-ordering on small jobs.
• Targeted for 2mm Simplex Cable: This isn't a universal sleeve — it's dimensioned for 2mm simplex, which is the standard for individual fiber strands in most premises cabling. Using it on the correct cable diameter means the sleeve fits snugly enough to stay positioned without additional fixturing.

Integration & Compatibility

The NWSLC2-2Y slots into Panduit's LabelCore™ identification system and pairs directly with two label SKUs: S200X150YAJ for laser or inkjet output, and S200X150VATY for thermal transfer output. If your team runs a dedicated cable management labeling station with a thermal transfer printer — common in structured cabling and data center environments — the S200X150VATY label is the right pairing. For on-site or ad-hoc printing with a standard office laser or inkjet printer, S200X150YAJ handles it. Either path gives you machine-readable output compatible with barcode-driven asset management workflows. This sleeve is built for 2mm simplex cable; it is not interchangeable with duplex, 3mm, or 900µm tight-buffer variants — confirm your cable diameter before ordering. For broader cable labeling and identification needs across a project, evaluate the full LabelCore™ range to match sleeve size to each cable type in your plant.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What cable diameter is the NWSLC2-2Y designed for?

A: The NWSLC2-2Y is specifically sized for 2mm simplex cable. It is not designed for duplex cable, 3mm cable, or 900µm tight-buffer fiber — confirm your cable outer diameter before ordering.

Q: Which labels are compatible with the NWSLC2-2Y sleeve?

A: Two labels are verified compatible: S200X150YAJ for laser and inkjet printers, and S200X150VATY for thermal transfer printers. These are Panduit LabelCore™ labels dimensioned to fit the sleeve aperture correctly.

Q: How many sleeves come in a package, and what is the carton quantity?

A: Each package contains 100 sleeves. The carton quantity is 1,000 pieces, suitable for volume purchasing on large structured cabling or fiber infrastructure projects.

Q: Is the NWSLC2-2Y RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The NWSLC2-2Y meets RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) requirements, making it suitable for installations subject to EU environmental compliance mandates.

Q: What material is the sleeve made from, and will it crack or split during installation?

A: The sleeve is made from flexible PVC. Flexible PVC conforms to cable routing without cracking and withstands repeated handling in active patch environments — unlike rigid sleeve materials that can split when bent.

Q: Can the NWSLC2-2Y be used with a standard office laser printer?

A: Yes. When paired with Panduit label S200X150YAJ, the sleeve accepts labels printed on standard laser or inkjet printers — no dedicated thermal transfer printer required for basic labeling workflows.

Jerry Tildsen

The NWSLC2-2Y is a product that rewards deliberate specifying. At 2.25 inches long and targeted precisely at 2mm simplex cable, it isn't trying to be a universal sleeve — and that specificity is exactly what makes it reliable. If you're building out a fiber-dense environment where individual core identification is part of your as-built documentation requirement, this sleeve paired with the correct LabelCore™ label gives you a repeatable, printer-agnostic labeling solution without improvising around a generic sleeve that doesn't fit cleanly.

Technical Highlights:

• 2.25-Inch Sleeve Length: Provides enough label surface for alphanumeric IDs and barcodes at the individual fiber level without crowding connector boots — critical on high-density patch panels where physical space is tight.
• Flexible PVC Material: Stays on the cable through repeated MACs (moves, adds, changes) without cracking, which is the failure mode you'll see with rigid alternatives in working patch environments.
• Dual-Printer Label Support: Compatible with both S200X150YAJ (laser/inkjet) and S200X150VATY (thermal transfer) — gives your team flexibility on the print side without changing the physical sleeve SKU across the project.

Deployment Considerations:

• Confirm your cable is 2mm simplex before committing to a 100-piece order. The NWSLC2-2Y is not a fit for duplex or 3mm cable — a diameter mismatch means sleeves that won't stay positioned or won't slide past connector boots cleanly.
• The yellow color coding only delivers value if it's applied consistently across the project. Define your color-to-circuit-type mapping in the cable schedule before installation — retrofitting a color convention after the fact on a live plant is painful and error-prone.

For a structured cabling contractor building out a multi-floor enterprise fiber plant where TIA-606 identification is a deliverable, the NWSLC2-2Y (often searched as NWSLC2 2Y) in combination with a thermal transfer label printer and the S200X150VATY label stock is a solid, code-supportable approach to simplex core marking that holds up through the life of the installation.
