Panduit S100X160YAJ Self-Laminating Polyester Wire & Cable Labels
Panduit S100X160YAJ delivers 2,500 self-laminating labels engineered for permanent wire and cable identification in commercial security, AV, and data center installs. The two-part construction combines a white polyester print surface with a wraparound clear overlaminate that locks out moisture, abrasion, and UV exposure—critical when you're labeling plenum-rated runs or outdoor conduit drops that inspectors will scrutinize years later. Laser and inkjet compatible, these 1" × 1.6" labels pair with Asy-Mark Plus software for batch production, eliminating the handwritten-Sharpie chaos that costs you callbacks when a client needs to trace a camera homerun or troubleshoot a POE switch port.
Key Features
- 2,500 self-laminating labels per package—white print zone with clear protective overlaminate for long-term durability
- 1" × 1.6" (25.4 mm × 40.6 mm) format optimized for wire and cable diameters in security, AV, and IT installations
- Polyester base material resists solvents, temperature swings, and UV degradation in indoor and outdoor environments
- Laser and inkjet printer compatible—run batches through office printers without thermal-transfer hardware
- Works with Panduit Asy-Mark Plus labeling software for database-driven label generation and barcode integration
- UL Recognized per UL 969 (File MH14979), RoHS compliant, ASTM E-595 compliant for plenum air-handling spaces
The self-laminating architecture solves the core problem integrators face on large deployments: print durability without specialized equipment. You print identification data—camera names, VLAN tags, circuit numbers—on the white polyester zone using a standard office laser or inkjet printer, then wrap the label around the cable. The clear tail overlaps the printed area and bonds to itself, creating a sealed sleeve that won't smudge when pulled through conduit or exposed to cleaning solvents during maintenance. Polyester construction handles the thermal cycling you see in ceiling spaces and outdoor camera runs better than paper-based labels, which curl and fade within months. UL 969 recognition means the adhesive and material meet flammability and permanence standards for electrical equipment marking—important when AHJs red-tag installs for non-compliant labels. ASTM E-595 compliance (white version) permits use in air-handling plenums where off-gassing restrictions apply, keeping you Code-compliant in hospitals, schools, and government facilities that enforce stricter fire safety rules. The 1" × 1.6" dimension wraps Cat6A, RG6, and 18/2 alarm wire cleanly without excessive overlap, and provides enough print area for two lines of 10-point text—sufficient for "CAM-LOBBY-01" plus an IP address or port identifier.
Asy-Mark Plus software integration transforms labeling from a manual bottleneck into a production workflow. Import a port schedule or BOM, generate a batch of 200 labels in five minutes, and print them before the rack arrives on site. That's the difference between an apprentice hand-writing labels at the rack (error-prone, slow) and showing up with pre-printed labels that match your as-built documentation. The software supports barcode output, so you can tie physical labels to asset-management databases—scan a cable, pull up the camera, verify the switch port. Competing with Brady LAT-56-361-2.5 labels, the Panduit S100X160YAJ offers comparable material specs but broader printer compatibility; Brady's equivalent typically requires specific printer models, while Panduit's polyester formulation works with standard office hardware. The 2,500-label package quantity suits mid-to-large projects—a 64-camera parking-garage install with pre/post-termination labeling on both ends consumes roughly 256 labels, leaving enough for spare runs and future adds. Pack ten 2,500-label rolls (10,000 total per carton) and you've stocked enough for a multi-building campus without reordering mid-project.
UL Recognition under File MH14979 and RoHS compliance keep you aligned with electrical code and environmental mandates. When an inspector asks for label documentation or a client's procurement team needs RoHS declarations for LEED certification, you're covered. The polyester substrate and acrylic adhesive hold through temperature swings from -40°F to 200°F, typical in outdoor camera enclosures and telecom cabinets. For integrators running fiber and copper in the same tray, the clear overlaminate prevents the label-swap confusion that causes mis-terminations—you see exactly what's printed, even after months in a dusty IDF. This is the label you specify when your reputation depends on the client finding the right cable five years from now.
