Cable markers

[keniff]

Anyone know a decent brand of cable markers, ideally need numbers and letter and ones that can be crimped or clipped onto individual cores of the cable in a consumer unit. Any good shops online?

Critchley pre and post termination cable markers are the de facto industry standard and are available via most electrical wholesalers or from Farnell or Cablecraft.

Marking CU conductors

I use a 3M PL100 for exactly that. In flag mode they stick around the conductor. I mark which bond is which and for RFCs "a" or "b" - so much easier for future testing in busy CUs. 12mm tape, sticks well, water resistant etc. Only about £40 for the unit. A tape cartridge lasts well.

numbers that slide on work fine for us, stick to french or german though because they use different colors for the numbers (yes the numbers are also colour coded so when they age its easy to tell)

I've always used Partex mainly the chevron cut colour coded type
