Claims21
A cable marking clip for securing to a connector portion of a cable such that axial movement of the cable marking clip relative to the connector portion is prevented comprising:
- an outer portion including a first end portion;
- an inner portion including a first end portion;
- wherein the first end portion of the inner portion is attached to the first end portion of the outer portion;
- wherein the outer portion has an opening that extends an entirety of the axial length of the outer portion;
- wherein the inner portion has an opening that extends an entirety of the axial length of the inner portion;
- and
- wherein the outer portion is configured to engage a recess on the connector portion having strain relief grooves and the inner portion is configured to be received radially between the connector portion and the cable so as to prevent axial movement of the cable marking clip relative to the connector portion;
- and
- wherein the outer portion includes a receiving portion that is configured to receive an engagement portion of an outer portion of a second cable marking clip that is the same as the marking clip such that the cable marking clip can be received in the second cable marking clip so as to permit stacking of the cable marking clip with the second cable marking clip.
