Thermal Tube Brother HS2641 Yellow 17.7 mm x 1.5 m — thermal tubing for label printers

Thermal Tube Brother HS2641 Yellow 17.7 mm x 1.5 m is a yellow thermal tubing designed for heat-shrink and marking applications on cables and wires. The product is formulated for use with compatible Brother thermal tubing printers to create heat-sensitive, durable markings without the need for ink. Its 17.7 mm diameter and 1.5 m length provide sufficient material for multiple cable identifications and short runs in maintenance, installation and industrial environments.

Advantages

The thermal tubing offers direct thermal printing, producing clear, smudge-resistant text and symbols that remain legible after shrinking. Because markings are created by thermal transfer, there is no ink to replace and the labeling process is fast and consistent. The yellow color provides high contrast for black thermal print, improving readability in low-light or crowded cable trays. The tubing’s material is suitable for shrinking to conform to cable shapes while maintaining its printed information.

Suitable for

• Cable identification and wire marking
• Electrical panel and control cabinet labeling
• Industrial installations and maintenance tasks
• Short production runs and on-site labeling jobs

Key specifications

• Color: yellow
• Inner diameter before shrinking: 17.7 mm
• Length: 1.5 m
• Printing method: thermal (direct thermal compatible with Brother thermal tubing printers)
• Application: heat-shrinkable tubing for cable/wire marking

How to use

Cut the tubing to the required length, slide it over the cable or connector and position the printed area as needed. Print text or symbols using a compatible Brother thermal tubing printer following the printer’s software and media settings for 17.7 mm tubing. After printing, apply heat evenly with a heat gun or other approved heat source until the tubing shrinks and conforms to the cable surface. Allow the tubing to cool so the printed marking sets and remains readable.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use clean, dry cable surfaces and verify printer settings for yellow thermal tubing to ensure optimal contrast. Test a short sample print and shrink cycle before large runs, and avoid exposing the printed tubing to excessive abrasion or chemicals that could degrade legibility over time.
