Identity and purpose
Brother HSe-261E is a heat-shrink tube tape designed for cable and wire identification in electrical and data installations. The black-on-white print provides high-contrast labels that remain legible after shrinking. Supplied as a single cartridge, it suits technicians who need durable, professional marking on site or in the workshop.
Critical specification
The tape measures 31 mm wide and 1.5 metres long, with a 3:1 shrink ratio that reduces the tube diameter from 0.24 inches down to 0.7 inches. This range determines which wire gauges can be labelled; cables outside this diameter window will not fit correctly.
Sustained behaviour
Once heated, the tube conforms tightly to the conductor and resists abrasion, moisture and chemical exposure over long service periods. The printed text does not smear or fade under normal handling, so identification stays readable throughout the cable's installed life.

Questions about this item
How much usable length does the 31 mm tape give once it is shrunk inside a machine?
The roll supplies 1.5 metres of tubing that shrinks to one-third of its original diameter, covering the same linear distance after heating.
What printer interface does the HSe-261E cartridge use and what width does that limit?
The cartridge fits Brother label printers that accept 31 mm wide cassettes, so the printable width is capped at 31 mm.
What physical space is needed to mount the cassette in the printer?
The cassette measures 59/64 inch wide, 59 1/16 inch long and 25/32 inch in diameter, requiring a slot at least that large.
