Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices disclosed herein include a tube tag assembly for labelling an industrial cable (e.g., a wire rope sling). The tube tag assembly includes a collar with an aperture operable to receive a cable therethrough. The collar also includes a first mating extension protruding from a first side and a second mating extension protruding from a second side. Furthermore, the tube tag assembly includes a skirt having a first end and a second end. The first end of the skirt has at least one collar receiver for securing the skirt to the collar and forming the tube tag assembly. The at least one collar receiver includes a first indentation operable to receive the first mating extension and a second indentation operable to receive the second mating extension. Additionally, the tube tag assembly includes a label surface formed onto at least one of the collar or the skirt.

Abstract: Wire rope tube tags are described that include chemically etched wire rope information on an outer surface of the tube tag. A flat sheet of metal may be etched to include wire rope-related information on a surface of the flat sheet of metal that may then be folded into a desired shape, such as a cubic tube, spherical tube, triangular tube, etc., to create a wire rope tube tag with the wire rope information on the outer surface of the tag. Several methods for attaching the folded tube tag are provided, including one or more holes located through the body of the tube tag through which a wire thread or zip tie may pass and one or more tabs extending from the tube tag that may be bent toward or angled toward the wire rope sling to pinch the wire rope and hold the tag in place.
