Abstract
A information bearing device into which several wires or a cable can be disposed, for the display of 2D bar code information pertaining to the wires or cable. The device includes a first engaging portion which has a flat base, and a second receiving portion for disposing the device on wire(s)/cable or other item. QR code or micro QR code or data matrix indicia concerning said item is printed on a tab which is applied to the engaging portion'"'"'s flat base. Subsequent to closure, the information can be read by QR/data matrix code readers, cameras and smart phones. A clear protective cover layer may be added over the tab.
