Abstract
A ferrule for the end of an electric cable is equipped with a removable identification tag. A skirt of the ferrule has a space adapted to receive and to retain a first extremity of a removable tag. An identification zone of the central region of the tag has a profile adapted to permit the placing in position of rings in one direction and to retain the rings against removal in the reverse direction. The ferrule is advantageously used in all electrical installations wherein the identification means of the cables have to be modified and/or are composed of different numbers of characters.
