Panduit R100X225V1M Turn-Tell Self-Laminating Vinyl Label Cassette
Overview
The Panduit R100X225V1M is a PXE™ Turn-Tell label cassette engineered for cable identification in environments where you cannot afford to disconnect active infrastructure. Designed for use with the Panduit MP300 portable printer, it combines a white 57.1×25.4 mm printable face with a clear laminate overlay — giving you durable, legible legends on cable management assemblies that are already terminated and live. If you've ever labeled a structured cabling run only to find legends facing the wrong direction after bundling, the Turn-Tell format solves that at installation time rather than after the fact.
Each cassette contains 75 labels and is sold as a single cassette per package. Carton quantity is 80 cassettes, making it straightforward to stock for large cabling projects. The R100X225V1M meets RoHS compliance requirements, which matters in government, healthcare, and EU-export environments where material declarations are part of project closeout documentation.
Key Features
- Rotatable Label Design: The Turn-Tell format lets you pivot the label after installation so the legend faces your sight line — critical in high-density patch panels or cable trays where bundles end up oriented unpredictably. You're not re-terminating to fix a label that's facing the wall.
- Installs on Live, Connected Cables: The cassette is designed to apply to cables and assemblies that are already connected and active — no disconnection required. In a live data center or telecom room, that's the difference between a labeling job you can schedule during business hours versus a maintenance window at 2 AM.
- Self-Laminating Vinyl Construction: The PXE™ vinyl substrate with integral clear laminate protects printed legends from abrasion, moisture, and the oils from repeated handling. For cable labels that get touched every time a technician traces a run, that protection extends readability over the life of the installation.
- 57.1×25.4 mm Label Format with 19 mm Print Height: The label dimensions give you enough printable area for meaningful legend content — port designation, VLAN, circuit ID — without the label bulk that causes issues in tight conduit fill or bundle ties. The 19 mm print height (HO PO) accommodates multi-line legends from the MP300.
- MP300 Printer Compatibility: These cassettes are the native consumable for the Panduit MP300 portable label printer. The cassette format integrates label material and ribbon in a single drop-in unit — no separate ribbon loading, no alignment procedure. For field technicians working across multiple sites, that reduces prep time and eliminates the ribbon-loaded-backwards failure mode.
- White/Clear Color Scheme: The white printable face against a clear laminate wrap presents cleanly on both light and dark cable jackets — useful when your install mixes gray CAT6, black fiber, and yellow OS2 in the same tray and you want consistent label legibility regardless of jacket color.
- RoHS Compliant: The R100X225V1M meets RoHS material restrictions. If your project requires a material compliance declaration for EU delivery or a government agency's green procurement policy, this label cassette has the documentation to back it.
- 75 Labels Per Cassette, 80 Cassettes Per Carton: At 75 labels per cassette and 80 cassettes per carton, a full carton covers 6,000 label positions — enough for a mid-sized structured cabling deployment without mid-project reordering. The per-cassette pack quantity of 5 lets smaller jobs order without committing to carton volume.
Integration & Compatibility
The R100X225V1M is designed specifically for the Panduit MP300 portable printer. It is not cross-compatible with other label printer platforms — cassette geometry, ribbon type, and feed mechanism are MP300-specific. If your shop runs a mixed fleet of portable printers, verify the MP300 is your platform before ordering. The competitor cross-references R100X225V1C and R100X225V8C cover color variants (clear and an alternate color option) — the V1M designation indicates the white/clear configuration covered here.
For infrastructure documentation projects requiring integration with cable management software or DCIM platforms, the MP300's print output is a physical label — there is no direct digital linkage from this cassette to a network infrastructure management system. Label data originates from the MP300 input workflow on the device itself.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the R100X225V1M compatible with any Panduit printer other than the MP300?
A: No. The R100X225V1M cassette is specified for use with the Panduit MP300 portable printer. Cassette geometry and ribbon integration are MP300-specific — do not attempt use with other Panduit printer platforms.
Q: How many labels come in one package of R100X225V1M?
A: Each package contains one cassette with 75 labels. The carton quantity is 80 cassettes (6,000 total labels). Package quantity is listed as 5 for multi-pack ordering.
Q: Can the R100X225V1M be applied to cables that are already connected and in service?
A: Yes. The Turn-Tell design is specifically intended for cables and assemblies that are already connected — no disconnection is required for installation.
Q: What are the label dimensions for the R100X225V1M?
A: The label face measures 57.1×25.4 mm (approximately 2.25×1 inch) with a print height of 19 mm. The overall width is 25.4 mm (1 inch).
Q: Does the R100X225V1M meet RoHS compliance requirements?
A: Yes. The R100X225V1M is listed as RoHS-compliant (Conforme RoHS), making it suitable for projects with EU material restriction requirements or green procurement mandates.
Q: What is the color configuration of the R100X225V1M?
A: The R100X225V1M uses a white printable face with a clear laminate overlay. For alternate color variants, see the R100X225V1C (clear) and R100X225V8C cross-references.
The detail that stands out on the R100X225V1M is the live-cable install capability — in any structured cabling or data center environment, the ability to label 75 active cable positions per cassette without scheduling a disconnection window is a genuine labor and scheduling win, not a marketing bullet point. The 57.1×25.4 mm label with a 19 mm print height gives you real estate for a meaningful legend, not just a port number in 8-point type.
Technical Highlights:
- Turn-Tell Rotation: Post-installation label rotation means technicians can orient legends toward the viewing angle after bundling — eliminates re-termination for label alignment on already-dressed cable runs.
- 75 Labels Per Cassette, 80 Cassettes Per Carton: At 6,000 labels per carton, project-scale procurement is straightforward. The 5-unit pack quantity keeps smaller MACDs manageable without excess inventory.
- RoHS-Compliant PXE™ Vinyl: Self-laminating construction protects legends from handling abrasion across the cable lifecycle — a requirement, not a preference, on labels that get touched every time a run is traced in a busy IDF or MDF.
Deployment Considerations:
- This cassette is MP300-specific — confirm your field team's portable printer platform before ordering. The cassette format is not interchangeable across Panduit's printer line.
- The V1M (white/clear) variant is one of three color options; cross-references V1C and V8C cover alternate configurations — order intentionally if your color-coding scheme distinguishes voice, data, or fiber runs.
The R100X225V1M fits best on structured cabling projects where an installed base of active runs needs systematic documentation without service interruption — hospital IDF rooms, financial trading floors, or any high-density environment where a maintenance window for labeling isn't a realistic option.
