Standard polyethylene spiral wrap is susceptible to UV degradation. Use UV-stabilized materials or specialized conduit for long-term outdoor exposure.
Spiral Wrap & Expandable Sleeving Component Intelligence
Engineered cable protection for harness integrity and thermal management.
What are Spiral Wrap & Expandable Sleeving components?
Spiral wrap and expandable sleeving are essential for cable harness protection, providing abrasion resistance, EMI shielding, and organization. Choose based on expansion ratio, material thermal rating, and the required level of mechanical protection for your specific environment.
How to Choose Spiral Wrap & Expandable Sleeving Components
Select protection based on the mechanical and environmental demands of your assembly.
Expansion Ratio
Ensure the sleeving can accommodate the largest connector diameter while maintaining a snug fit on the cable bundle.
Material Selection
Use PET for general purpose, Nylon for high abrasion resistance, or Nomex for extreme heat and flame resistance.
Installation Method
Spiral wrap allows for breakouts at any point, whereas braided sleeving requires pre-installation before connectors are attached.
Environmental Rating
Verify chemical resistance and UV stability if the harness will be exposed to harsh industrial or outdoor conditions.
Bend Radius
Ensure the sleeving does not restrict the minimum bend radius of your cable assembly, which could lead to signal degradation.
