Identify any cable or component
Wrap around labels in multiple colours equipped with a quality adhesive are the most popular
solution to professionally identify cables and wires.Your identifying text or code can be printed
multiple times on each label, enabling 360° information visibility. Very often self-laminating
wrap around labels are used for extra durability and legibility. Brady offers self-laminating
labels and wrap arounds in great colour
variety, both die-cut and on continuous
rolls, all of them printable on location with
a Brady Mobile Printer.
Sleeves are a relocatable identification
solution with strong durability and staying
power. Slide them over a cable before ter-
mination. After cable termination, slide the
sleeves into position and heat shrink to fix
them into place. Any Brady Mobile Printer
can print a selection of quality sleeves in
various colours that are halogen-free, diesel
resistant or high temperature resistant to
suit specific requirements and standards.
Brady also provides on-site printable iden-
tification solutions for components, like the
Engraved Plate Replacement Label, which
is made out of polyethylene foam and
laminated polyester. It offers a raised profile
similar to an engraved plate, but at a much
lower cost and greatly increased flexibility.
There are many ways to source the iden-
tification solutions you need, but the most flexible way is to print your own labels on-site
and on demand. Modern portable label printers, such as the BMP21-PLUS and BMP41 Label
Printer, or the BMP51 and BMP53 Label Maker, auto-calibrate so you can easily call on their
entire versatile label range, including continuous labels and die-cuts, to identify any cable or
component with great ease.

Course to address network convergence challenges
The demand for skilled professionals who understand the exchange between information
technology (IT) and operations technology (OT) is increasing as the industrial plant floor
and corporate enterprise become more connected. In response, Rockwell Automation , in
collaboration with Strategic Alliance partner Cisco, has launched a new training course to
help IT and OT professionals overcome the challenges of converging their network technolo-
gies.The new training helps candidates prepare for the recently introduced Cisco Industrial
Networking Specialist certification.
The hands-on, lab-based course Managing Industrial Networks with Cisco Networking
Technologies (IMINS) provides the foundational skills needed to manage and administer
networked, industrial control systems.The first-of-its-kind course is designed to help control
system and traditional network engineers in manufacturing, process control, and oil and gas
environments to better understand the networking technologies required to enable a con-
nected enterprise for more profitable, real-time decision making.
Students will get hands-on experience working on the Rockwell Automation suite of prod-
ucts to help converge technologies and bring the value of the connected enterprise to life.
