Fiber Optic Cable Identification Tags

To ensure field service and maintenance run smoothly, telecommunications companies need methods to easily identify their cables. Clearly marking all the fiber optic cables in a network improves technicians' ability to work efficiently and lowers the likelihood your cables will be accidentally disturbed or misidentified. As a result, many companies invest in labels and tags to assist with cable management.

A simple marker design can provide all the identification you need for your cables. However, you can also develop a more intricate cable identification system, utilizing different colors and engravings to distinguish various fiber runs from one another. Whether you're looking for straightforward cable identification solutions or a more complex method, Multilink can provide products that meet your needs.

The Multilink, Inc. MULTITAG™ was designed with the installer’s problems and needs in mind.

High-Quality Cable Identification Markers

When choosing markers for your electrical cables, you want to find a product that will last as long as the cables in your networks. Multilink designs our fiber optic cable identification tags to last longer than typical stick-on labels, making them ideal for long-term application in the field, both indoors and outdoors.

Cable labeling during installation will pay off. Though exceptionally durable, Multilink's cable markers remain easy to attach to cables. These tags are easy to implement and streamline setup and cable identification.

Telecom companies often have unique requirements for their cable products. Customization is an important part of Multilink's business model, as it allows us to serve customers with specific needs.

Deciding which product will be right for you depends on your application and preferences. For example, if you think custom colors and engravings will benefit your business, you'll want to choose our custom marker option.
