What Is Braided Cable Sleeving?

Braided Cable Sleeving is a soft type of tube cover. Unlike hard material sleeving, it is not rigid. It has high toughness and can freely stretch, bend, and also helps dissipate heat for the wires, while also being fire-resistant and UV-resistant.

Braided cable sleeving comes in various forms and materials to suit different usage scenarios. It has two types: closed and split. PET is commonly used for daily wiring. Nylon flat filament can be used in harsh environments and heavy equipment. Nylon is an ideal material for automobiles and mining equipment, while PPS and PEEK are suitable for high-demand aerospace and military applications. The split style sleeving includes wrap-around braided sleeving, zipper braided sleeving and hook and loop braided sleeving. They are designed to organize and protect cables fixed at both ends and hard to detach, and can be easily installed without removing connectors.

In an industrial setting, the use of specialized cutting tools such as cutting knives and hot cutting machines is observed. While cutting, the melted edges at the incision will not come off. Cables can be easily threaded through the sleeving, and using these hot knife machine can improve production efficiency in large-scale production processes.

The split braided sleeving is particularly suitable for various scenarios such as fixed-line bundles at office desks and computer workstations, in engines of cars and ships, as well as for maintenance in confined spaces where
disassembly is not possible.

PPS Braided Sleeve

In industrial settings, PPS braided sleeving and PEEK braided sleeving are widely adopted. Both deliver superior wear resistance, excellent high-temperature performance, great dimensional stability and outstanding chemical corrosion resistance. They are the preferred choices for aerospace, communication stations, automotive and other industrial fields.

Wire management is not difficult at all! Just remember two things:
Choose a suitable Cable sleeve based on your usage scenario.
Check its functions to see if it can meet your wire management needs.
