RS PRO Braided Acrylic Fibreglass Red Cable Sleeve, 6mm Diameter, 5m Length

A lightweight and flexible acrylic resin coated fibreglass braided cable sleeve. The sleeving is very versatility and has a high thermal rating allowing it to be used for applications in many consumer appliances vsuch as lighting fixtures, stoves, and ovens. Along with furnace controls, relays, breaker panels, switchgear, and other commercial and industrial apparatus.

Features and benefits
• Halogen Free
• Impregnated fibreglass
• High abrasion resistance
• Max. temperature 450°C
• Non fraying
• High flexibility
• Excellent chemical resistant to oils, fluids and aggressive chemical agents

Braided sleeving with its flexible and durable design provides an effective and easy to use cable management solution for containing individual cables or bundles of cables. Cable sleeving also offers excellent protection to cables and wires against damage caused by abrasion from sharp edges, high impacts, vibration and mechanical stress. Depending on the material used, braided sleeving also protects the cable or wire from high temperatures, chemicals and solvents.

• High abrasion and mechanical resistance
• Excellent resistance to chemicals including oils, fluids and aggressive chemical agents
• Halogen free
• 1kV dielectric strength
• Good temperature resistance
• Maintains electrical properties after flexing
• Good resistance to fraying when cut
• Compatible with most insulating varnishes

This braided cable sleeve is lightweight and flexible and provides a protective covering and insulation for wires and cables. This sleeving can also be used as a cable management sleeve to keep your wires tidy and in wire harness applications. The unique properties and mechanical strength that this braided sleeve offers make it ideal for protecting electrical cables and terminals from damage in high abrasion applications including motors and transformers, lighting applications and domestic appliances

Select the cable sleeving diameter you require and cut the sleeve to the correct length, scissors can be used but If the sleeve is not cut correctly it can fray. To prevent fraying use a hot cutting tool such as a hot knife or a soldering iron with a sharp tip. Slice the cable braid using even pressure to leave an evenly sealed edge on the material. Once the sleeve is cut to size simply push and slide the cable sleeving into place over the cable or fittings.

Glass fibres can cause irritation to sensitive skins.
