Panduit C100X050YJM PXE Polyester Component Label
Overview
The Panduit C100X050YJM is a 1-inch wide by 0.5-inch tall white polyester component label designed for use with the Panduit PXE MP300 portable label printer. Part of the PXE™ labeling system, this label is built for the identification and marking needs of network infrastructure, security systems, and industrial cabling environments where durable, legible identification matters. Each pack contains 5 labels, with 80 packs per carton — a packaging structure suited to professional installers and IT teams stocking up for large projects.
At 1" × 0.5" (25.4mm × 25.4mm), the C100X050YJM delivers a compact but readable label footprint that fits tightly on patch panels, cable runs, component faces, and equipment ports without overlapping adjacent ports or obscuring adjacent labeling. The white polyester substrate provides a clean, high-contrast printing surface that holds ink reliably even in environments with vibration, humidity, or handling stress.
Key Features
- Polyester Material: Unlike paper labels, polyester construction resists tearing, moisture, and abrasion — important when labels on patch panels or cable trays get touched repeatedly over months of moves, adds, and changes. You won't be re-labeling because a paper label shredded on contact.
- 1" × 0.5" Format (25.4mm × 25.4mm): This size hits the practical sweet spot for component labeling on 1U patch panels, keystone jacks, and structured cabling terminations — wide enough to fit a readable port number or cable ID, short enough not to bridge across adjacent positions.
- White Background: High-contrast white surface ensures printed text and barcodes scan cleanly and read clearly under typical equipment-room lighting. If you're printing machine-scannable asset tags, the white base matters for scanner reliability.
- PXE MP300 Compatibility: Designed specifically for the Panduit PXE MP300 portable printer. This is not a generic label — it is spec'd to the cassette-feed system of the MP300, so you get consistent feed, registration, and print quality without calibration headaches in the field.
- 5-Label Pack (Carton Qty: 80 Packs): The 5-pack retail unit keeps small jobs manageable and cost-controlled. The 80-pack carton option means large-scale deployments — a full data center structured cabling run or a multi-floor security system installation — can be stocked without repeated re-orders.
- PXE™ Sub-Brand Ecosystem: Labels within the Panduit PXE™ line are part of a coordinated system of printers, cassettes, and label types. Using matched cassette labels like the C100X050YJM avoids the compatibility drift that happens when generic labels are forced into purpose-built printer mechanisms.
Integration & Compatibility
The C100X050YJM is verified for use with the Panduit PXE MP300 portable printer. Competitor cross-references include C100X025YJC, C100X050YJC, C100X050YMC, C100X050YPC, and PTL-17-423 — useful when migrating from another labeling system or standardizing across a mixed-brand install base. Confirm cassette compatibility with the PXE MP300 before substituting any cross-reference label in production.
For environments running structured cabling identification programs — including network infrastructure labeling or physical security system documentation — this label integrates with Panduit's broader identification system. Pair with the PXE MP300 and matching cable and patch panel markers for a consistent, auditable labeling scheme across the installation. Consider complementing your labeling workflow with a cable management solution to maintain organized, documented runs end-to-end.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What printer is the C100X050YJM compatible with?
A: The C100X050YJM is designed for use with the Panduit PXE MP300 portable label printer. It is a cassette-based label specific to the PXE™ printing system and is not guaranteed to function in non-PXE printers.
Q: What are the dimensions of the C100X050YJM label?
A: Each label measures 1 inch wide by 0.5 inch tall (25.4mm × 25.4mm). This size is suited for component-level identification on patch panels, keystone jacks, and similar infrastructure terminations.
Q: How many labels come in a pack and how many packs per carton?
A: Each pack contains 5 labels. Carton quantity is 80 packs, making the carton a practical stocking unit for large-scale structured cabling or security system installations.
Q: What material is the C100X050YJM label made from?
A: The label substrate is polyester. Polyester provides better durability than paper in environments with handling, humidity, or vibration — standard in data center and security infrastructure labeling applications.
Q: Are there compatible cross-reference labels from other manufacturers?
A: Yes. Documented cross-references include C100X025YJC, C100X050YJC, C100X050YMC, C100X050YPC, and PTL-17-423. Verify cassette fit and print registration with your specific PXE MP300 unit before deploying a substitute in a production labeling run.
Q: What color is the C100X050YJM label background?
A: White. The white polyester surface provides a high-contrast base for printed text and barcodes, supporting both human-readable identification and machine-scannable asset tags.
The C100X050YJM is the label I reach for when a project calls for durable, precisely-sized component identification in environments that don't tolerate re-work. The 1" × 0.5" polyester format gives you enough real estate for a port number, cable ID, or asset code without crowding a 1U panel face — and the polyester construction means those labels are still legible and intact 18 months later when the next technician opens the cabinet.
Technical Highlights:
- Polyester substrate: Unlike paper, polyester won't delaminate or tear under repeated contact — critical on high-density patch panels where adjacent ports get touched constantly during MAC work. This is the right material choice for any labeling that needs to survive the installation lifecycle, not just the initial commissioning visit.
- 1" × 0.5" (25.4mm × 25.4mm) footprint: Matches the port pitch on standard 1U 24-port patch panels without bridging — you can label every port cleanly. The 0.5" height keeps the label within the panel face without obscuring the RJ-45 latch mechanism on adjacent ports.
- 5-pack / 80-pack carton structure: Five labels per pack is a practical unit for single-cabinet jobs; 80 packs per carton (400 labels) scales cleanly to a full-floor structured cabling deployment or a multi-cabinet security head-end room without mid-project re-ordering.
Deployment Considerations:
- These labels are cassette-based for the PXE MP300 — confirm you have the MP300 on-site before ordering. They are not compatible with flat-sheet or roll-feed desktop label printers, so don't assume interchangeability with your existing label stock.
- The 5-label-per-pack format means unit cost per label is higher than high-volume roll stock. For projects exceeding several hundred labels, evaluate the carton (80 packs / 400 labels) as the purchasing unit to keep per-label cost in check.
This label is the right call for structured cabling documentation in security and IT infrastructure environments — specifically where a portable printer like the PXE MP300 is already part of the field kit and where polyester durability is required over paper for multi-year label life in patched, high-touch cabinets.
