RS PRO PET Expandable Braided Cable Sleeving
From RS PRO a range of high-quality expandable cable sleeving made from durable and environmentally friendly PET (Polyester) monofilament yarns. Electrical wires and cables are simply routed through the sleeve and the flexible construction of the sleeve expands to accommodate a wide range of cable diameters. The unique woven braided construction of this PET cable sleeving and its high expansion ratio allows it to be quickly and easily installed over large connectors, wire bundles and irregular shapes.
What is Expandable Braided Cable Sleeving?
Expandable braided cable sleeving is used as an alternative to heatshrink tubing. The difference between expandable cable sleeving and heat-shrink tubing is that expandable sleeving doesn't require any heating making it convenient, cost-effective and easy to use. The open weave braiding of this cable sleeving simply expands over the cables and components and contracts to provide a tight-fitting cover. The open weave of the sleeve also allows you to examine the wires underneath. Braided sleeving protects wires and cables from damage caused by abrasion from sharp edges, high impacts, and vibration. Cable sleeving, depending on the material used, also gives the cable protection from chemicals and solvents.
