Mary Arrowsmith, Product Manager for HellermannTyton, comments: “We are delighted to introduce the TipTag5 to the Telecoms industry. As a business, we are always looking for ways to improve our solutions to best suit the needs of our customers. In the world of telecoms, we identified that our standard TIPTAGs would be too large and impractical for their needs, so we have designed the TIPTAG5 as a bespoke identification solution which can cover small to large

“As well as providing easy identification, its perforated design, with fastening slots for cable ties, ensures secure labelling, we have also included a wrap-around feature that tops the cable ties from being secured too tightly to prevent damaging the fibre cables.”

Manufactured from a specially compounded halogen-free material, the TipTag5 is designed for use where limited fire hazard properties are required and can operate in temperatures ranging from -40ºC up to 90ºC, making it suitable for challenging environments.
