Overview
Braided Heat Shrink Tubing 12 mm 5 m Textile Sleeve for Cables Shrinkage 2:1 Self-Extinguishing Protection and Bundling

Braided heat shrink tubing combines the properties of classic heat shrink tubing with a durable textile sleeve. This piece has an internal diameter of 12 mm and a length of 5 m, making it suitable for thicker power cables, wire bundles, and thicker conductors. When heated with hot air, the sleeve shrinks at a ratio of 2:1 and tightly wraps around the protected conductor. The braided surface is flexible, highly resistant to abrasion, and according to the manufacturer, helps reduce cable noise. The five-metre length is ideal for larger cable modifications, protecting multiple thicker cables or bundles at once.

Shrinkage begins at approximately 80 °C and full shrinkage is achieved around 120 °C. A hot air gun is sufficient for heating, and the manufacturer also mentions the possibility of using a lighter. Once cooled, the tubing forms a continuous textile layer that protects the insulation of the conductors from mechanical damage, abrasion, and heat. The material is self-extinguishing with a flammability rating of VW-1 and withstands operating temperatures from −40 to +150 °C, making it suitable for cabling in cars or electrical appliances that heat up during operation. The tubing can be used to protect joints, terminate cables, extend conductors, or to bundle several thin cables into one neat bundle.

When selecting the size, refer to the diameter of the cable. The manufacturer recommends choosing tubing approximately 3 mm larger than the diameter of the protected conductor. For flat cables or bundles with a rectangular cross-section, the required diameter is calculated by adding the width and height, multiplying by two, dividing by 3.14, and adding 3 mm. The tubing is supplied in one piece, so you can cut it to the exact lengths you need before shrinking. Slide it onto the cable before connecting the connectors, then move it to the desired position and evenly heat it along its entire length.

The braided heat shrink tubing with a diameter of 12 mm is a practical accessory for anyone repairing, modifying, or installing electrical wiring. The length of 5 m is useful for extensive modifications, protecting multiple thicker cables, bundles, or longer conductors. The textile surface protects the conductors from abrasion, heat from the hot air gun quickly shrinks it, resulting in neatly and securely arranged cabling. Thanks to its self-extinguishing properties and resistance up to +150 °C, it can be used in electronics, automation, electrical appliances, and in cars.
