HellermannTyton Braided Sleeving
HellermannTyton's Braided Sleeving provides protection for hoses, cable assemblies, and wire bundles against abrasion and damage caused by excessive wear and motion. Lightweight and flexible, the construction of braided sleeving allows it to expand beyond its nominal size to fit several bundle sizes and shapes. The relatively easy expansion and quick slip-over accommodate a variety of market applications. Securing the ends of braided sleeving is fast and easy with cable ties, electrical tape, or heat shrink materials.
The braided sleeving covers a range of materials, sizes, colors, and styles-including standard PET, PA66 Nylon, Flame-Retardant, Split Wrap, and High-Temperature products. The sleeving is also resistant to harsh environments such as chemical salts, solvents, de-icing fluids, and petroleum products as well as being resilient against UV light. Orange PET braided sleeving is an extremely flexible, general-purpose option for bundling and protecting wires and cables in abrasive-type applications. Its high-visibility color makes it ideal for systematic color coding of complex wiring installations.

I don’t braid my hair because I don’t think it would be a good look for me. Do you know what else doesn’t look good? A rat’s nest of cables under the hood of a battery-powered vehicle, whether that’s a hybrid car, a golf cart, or a light truck. But that’s easy to fix with HerllermannTyton orange PET braided sleeving. It can bundle various cable assembly shapes to protect against abrasion and the orange color provides easy visual and safety identification of critical wiring components. The sleeves are offered in nominal sizes from half an inch to an inch and a half and can expand up to 150% for easy installation. The braided design prevents heat and humidity from being trapped in the sleeve and allows for it to be highly flexible while maintaining excellent tensile strength. The sleeving is UL 94-V0 rated and can be used at temperatures from negative 70 to positive 126 degrees Celsius.
