TRU-Mark® Print Legends General Cable continues to add the TRU-Mark® footage marking system to our most popular

sizes and lengths of Carol® Brand Portable Cord jackets. This enhanced numerical printing

feature indicates the exact length of cable, so installers do not waste time pulling wire that

is too short while optimizing their wire inventory by choosing the right length of wire for

the job. This sequential marker will be clearly printed on the jacket and will be packaged

according to the length you order. You will always know how much is left on your reel.
