Overview
The Hotmarker H401-FC is a professional hot stamping wire cable marker system manufactured by CTK Corporation, a trusted Japanese leader in cable and wire identification equipment. This H401-FC wire cable marker system is engineered for marking tubes, PVC sleeving, heat-shrink tubing, and marker labels with crisp, durable impressions. Operating at 115V-AC, the unit employs hot stamping technology—pressing heated metal type onto marking foil to transfer precise identification directly onto materials. Ideal for control cable identification, wire numbering, and connector marking in manufacturing, electrical assembly, and maintenance environments.
