Wire Sleeving

Braided wire sleeves (or braided cable sleeves) are open weave and flexible, which allows for easy installation and a tight fit around wire and cable bundles. They are designed to insulate and protect wires from impacts, cutting or chafing as well as protect against environmental contamination. Braided wire sleeves are typically made of polyester monofilaments that are braided into one singular sleeve. Expandable braided sleeves are extremely flexible and can stretch 40 percent of their initial length and expand to 100 percent of their original diameter. Because the weave is designed to expand and contract based on pressure, different bundle sizes can be accommodated across a range of temperatures. The tight weave provides an extra layer of insulation to ensure all cables and wires will be protected from extreme temperatures, moisture, vibration, UV light and corrosive chemicals. Some expandable braided sleeves are self-extinguishing and halogen-free, which decreases the risk of toxic gas emission in the case of a fire.

3 Tips for Proper Wire Management
Be consistent. This is one of the most overlooked aspects of great wire management. Consistency should apply to everything including the length of wire that is being used, the bend radius of the wire, the wire placement within the bundles and the label positions.
Don't always take the shortest path. When routing wires and trying to achieve a clean and organized look, it is important to not always take the shortest route to land the wires. For example, when wiring hardware on the door of an electrical enclosure it is important to consider all of the wires that are going to be at that location and bundle these wires whenever possible. Instead of just running the wires directly to the place that they need to be connected, route the wires in a way that will pass other devices or connection points near the wire and pick up any other wires along the way that are related to those other connection points.
Wire tie everything that is not concealed. When wiring in a control panel, the wires are often concealed by the wire ducting. However, there are times when wires are not concealed and are difficult to control in such a way that will result in a clean and organized look. To assist with this problem, it is important to use wire ties and wire tie anchors. Make sure that the same size wire tie and the same color is used throughout the install process.
