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.
