Panduit PLM2S-C Pan-Ty Cable Tie with Identification Area
The Panduit PLM2S-C combines cable bundling and asset identification in a single component — a 7.4" nylon cable tie with an integrated 0.44" × 0.87" write-on label area. Commercial security integrators use these for rack installations, plenum cable routing, and outdoor junction boxes where permanent cable labeling is required but adhesive labels fail or detach. The raised marker surface accepts permanent marker, thermal transfer labels, or dot-matrix printing, ensuring traceability through service, expansion, and troubleshooting cycles.
Key Features
- Integrated 0.44" × 0.87" (11.1 × 22.1 mm) identification area molded into the tie body
- 7.4" (188 mm) length handles bundles up to approximately 2" diameter
- Natural nylon 6.6 construction provides high tensile strength and temperature range
- Single-piece design eliminates adhesive label detachment or residue
- CE and RoHS compliant for European and international deployments
- Packaged 100 per bag for job-site efficiency
The PLM2S-C uses Panduit's one-piece Pan-Ty design with a smooth, low-profile head that prevents snagging during cable pulls and won't damage jacket insulation. The identification surface is recessed slightly below the tie body, protecting handwritten or printed markings from abrasion during installation and service. Natural nylon 6.6 offers operating temperatures from -40°F to +185°F, UV resistance for outdoor enclosures, and tensile strength sufficient for plenum-rated cable bundles. The material accepts most permanent markers without smudging and holds thermal transfer labels applied with portable printers like Brady or Dymo industrial units.
Security and AV integrators deploy identification ties at patch panel terminations, camera junction boxes, IDF/MDF cable management bars, and UPS battery banks — anywhere troubleshooting speed depends on accurate circuit or destination labeling. Unlike adhesive cable labels that peel in high-humidity environments or outdoor enclosures, the molded ID area remains intact through temperature cycling, UV exposure, and physical handling. These ties are standard for projects requiring asset tagging per TIA-606-B administration standards or where inspection authorities require permanent labeling of fire alarm, access control, or life-safety circuits.
The PLM2S-C ships 100 ties per bag and 1,000 per carton, supporting both small retrofit jobs and multi-building campus installations. Panduit's Pan-Ty line is widely specified for plenum and riser applications where UL-listed cable management components are required; the PLM2S-C extends that reliability to installations where cable identification is part of the scope — eliminating the need to stock separate ties and labels, reducing installation steps, and ensuring labels stay attached for the life of the installation.
