Panduit T038X000FJM-BK PXE Continuous Tape Label Cassette
Overview
The Panduit T038X000FJM-BK is a PXE-series continuous tape cassette loaded with black-on-white polyolefin label material — 0.38 inches wide by 23 feet long (8.8 mm x 7 m) per cassette. Designed as a drop-in replacement cartridge for Panduit MP-series portable label printers, the cassette packages both the label stock and the ink ribbon in a single snap-in unit, so field technicians swap supplies in seconds without handling loose ribbon spools. Each pack ships with 5 cassettes, giving a team enough stock to label a mid-size cabling job or panel room without a resupply run.
Key Features
- Polyolefin label material: Polyolefin resists moisture, abrasion, and mild chemicals better than standard vinyl, making these labels a better fit for electrical panels, cable trays, and patch bays where condensation or cleaning agents are routine. Unlike paper stock, the substrate won't absorb moisture and curl off the surface.
- 0.38" x 23 ft per cassette (8.8 mm x 7 m): The 23-foot run is long enough to label an entire 48-port patch panel in one cassette at typical cable-marker sizes, reducing mid-job interruptions. The 0.38-inch width fits standard cable tie-wrap and panel-legend footprints common in structured cabling.
- Black-on-white printing: High contrast against any background color — relevant when labels need to be readable under poor lighting in server rooms or above-ceiling cable runs without pulling out a flashlight.
- Integrated label-and-ribbon cassette design: The combined cartridge eliminates ribbon misalignment errors that occur with separate-spool systems. One motion loads both supplies, which matters when you're on a ladder with one hand on the printer.
- RoHS compliant: The T038X000FJM-BK meets RoHS directive requirements, a check-box requirement for projects under EU procurement rules or for facilities with environmental compliance programs.
- 5 cassettes per pack, 120 cassettes per carton: The 5-pack quantity is sized for single-technician kit bags; the 120-unit carton quantity supports volume procurement for large-scale structured cabling contractors who want to standardize on a single label stock across all job sites.
Integration & Compatibility
The T038X000FJM-BK (often searched as T038X000FJM BK) is confirmed compatible with four Panduit MP-series portable label printers: MP75, MP100, MP200, and MP300. If you're running a different MP printer model, verify cassette compatibility against your printer's supported media list before ordering — not all MP cassette widths are interchangeable across the full MP printer line. Competing cassettes T031X000FJC-BK and T038X000FJC-BK cover similar width profiles; the FJM suffix denotes the polyolefin material type, which is the key differentiator versus standard material variants in the same printer family.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Which Panduit printers is the T038X000FJM-BK compatible with?
A: The T038X000FJM-BK is confirmed for use with the Panduit MP75, MP100, MP200, and MP300 portable label printers. Verify compatibility before using with other MP-series models not listed here.
Q: What label material does the T038X000FJM-BK use?
A: The cassette uses polyolefin label stock — a synthetic material that resists moisture, abrasion, and mild chemicals better than paper or standard vinyl, making it well-suited for electrical and low-voltage cabling applications.
Q: How many cassettes are in each pack?
A: Each standard pack contains 5 cassettes. The full carton quantity is 120 cassettes, suitable for bulk procurement on large structured cabling projects.
Q: What are the label dimensions per cassette?
A: Each cassette provides 0.38 inches (8.8 mm) wide by 23 feet (7 m) of continuous label tape, printed black-on-white.
Q: Is the T038X000FJM-BK RoHS compliant?
A: Yes, the T038X000FJM-BK meets RoHS directive requirements, supporting procurement for projects with EU environmental compliance obligations.
Q: What is the difference between the T038X000FJM-BK and the T038X000FJC-BK?
A: Both share the same 0.38-inch width and are listed as competing alternatives. The FJM suffix denotes the polyolefin material type; the FJC variant uses a different label material. Confirm the correct material for your application before substituting.
The T038X000FJM-BK is the cassette I reach for on infrastructure jobs where labels need to survive — the polyolefin substrate is the right call for environments where you'd otherwise find adhesive residue and curled paper six months post-install. At 23 feet per cassette and 5 cassettes per pack, a single pack covers most mid-scale panel labeling jobs without a resupply mid-project.
Technical Highlights:
- Polyolefin material: Outperforms paper and standard vinyl in humid or chemically active environments — relevant in mechanical rooms, below-floor data centers, or any cabling run near HVAC equipment where condensation is periodic.
- 0.38" x 23 ft (8.8 mm x 7 m) per cassette: The 23-foot run supports full 48-port patch panel labeling from a single cassette at standard label lengths, eliminating mid-job swaps on large termination tasks.
- Integrated ribbon-and-media cassette: Single-motion load cuts the ribbon misalignment failures common with separate-spool systems — a practical advantage when working in tight spaces or from a ladder.
Deployment Considerations:
- Printer compatibility is specific: MP75, MP100, MP200, and MP300 are the confirmed models. Do not assume cross-compatibility with other MP-series printers — check your printer's supported media list before stocking bulk quantities.
- The FJM material suffix designates polyolefin. If your procurement substitutes FJC cassettes of the same width, verify the material difference won't affect adhesion or durability for your application before swapping stock.
Best fit for structured cabling contractors and facilities teams standardizing on Panduit MP-series printers for panel room and data center labeling programs where label longevity matters more than unit cost.
