Whether you install security systems, audio/video, home automation, or datacomm networks -- if you pride yourself on offering quality, professional installations, then you need to consider labeling your installations with Heat Shrink Tubing.

Heat Shrink Tubing is the premium method of labeling cables. Because they slide over the cable and are shrunk snugly to the cable using a heat gun, they look more professional than anything else on the market and won't ever fall off.

RHINO offers a line of Heat Shrink Tubes that add one more benefit: They save time. While common use of heat shrink tubing includes printing a standard label, applying it to a cable, then sliding a clear heat shrink tube over the label to prevent it from falling off, RHINO allows you to print directly onto the Heat Shrink Tube for a one-step solution. Simply load the Heat Shrink Tube cartridge into your RHINO 3000 or 5000 label printer and print your labels like you normally would. The label text is printed directly onto the heat shrink tubing. Then just slip it onto your cable and shrink it into place. Nothing could be easier or more secure. And, like all RHINO labels, Heat Shrink Tubes will never fade or smear.

The merits of using Heat Shrink Tubing to label your installations are undeniable. However, it is important to use the right size tubing depending on the size or gauge of your wires/cables. Below is a primer on what size Heat Shrink Tubing to use for various size cables.
