Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What diameters of expandable cable sleeve are available?
A: This PET braided cable sleeve is available in 10 sizes: 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, and 25 mm nominal diameters. Thanks to the 150% expanding ratio, each size can accommodate a range of cable bundle thicknesses beyond its stated diameter.
Q: Is this cable sleeve suitable for automotive wiring harnesses?
A: Yes! The PET expandable braided sleeve is widely used for automotive wiring protection. Its broad temperature endurance (-50 °C to +150 °C), UL94V-2 flame-retardant rating, and abrasion-resistant braid make it an excellent choice for protecting vehicle wiring harnesses from heat, chafing, and mechanical wear.
Q: How do I cut the cable sleeve to the right length?
A: Simply measure your desired length and cut with sharp scissors or a cable cutter. To prevent fraying at the cut ends, it is recommended to briefly apply heat from a heat gun or lighter to the cut edge — this fuses the PET braid and creates a clean, secure finish.
Q: Can this sleeve be used outdoors?
A: Yes. The PET material is resistant to moisture and UV exposure, making it suitable for outdoor and garden applications. Its wide temperature range also ensures stable performance in varying weather conditions.
