These markers embody a chevron shaped cut which assists in the alignment of the marker. They are made in a very flexible PVC, and are stocked in four sizes, covering cable diameters 1.3mm to 16.0mm. All sizes are supplied semi cut, on reels or in packs and are stocked in various legends – numbers 0-9, letters A-Z, characters + - /, and an earth symbol. Numerals are resistor colour-coded or black on yellow; letters are black on yellow or black on white.
A fitting tool is also available for PA02 and PA1 markers. This is a Teflon-coated, stainless steel, tapered guide which expands the markers to enable them to slide easily onto cables. Sometimes know as "thimble jigs". See CABLE MARKER FITTING TOOL.
