Siemon ColorCodedCuffs™ (CCC) offer a safe, easy-to-install and environmentally responsible way to identify carrier cable in overcrowded cell towers. Unlike electrical tape, CCC’s will not leave behind glue or chemical residue and are designed to cycle up to 200 times, ensuring a long life and reducing the need for replacement. The full 360° visibility ensure easy identification from any angle and promise a secure fit that will not slide along the cable – meaning they’ll remain where they’re installed.
