Overview
Braided Heat Shrink Tubing 16 mm 5 m Textile Sleeve for Heavy Cables Shrink Ratio 2:1 Self-Extinguishing Protection for Wire Bundles

The braided heat shrink tubing combines the properties of traditional heat shrink tubing with a durable textile sleeve. This piece has an internal diameter of 16 mm and a length of 5 m, making it suitable for heavy power cables, bulky wire bundles, and thick conductors. When heated with hot air, the sleeve shrinks at a ratio of 2:1 and tightly conforms to 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 sufficient to protect several heavy cables at once or to tidy up a longer bundle of wires in a car or workshop.

Shrinking 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 wires 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 wiring in cars or electrical appliances that heat up during operation. The tubing can be used for protecting joints, terminating cables, extending wires, and bundling 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 16 mm is a practical accessory for anyone repairing, modifying, or newly installing electrical systems. The length of 5 m is sufficient for tidying up wiring in a car, protecting heavy power cables, or several bulkier bundles behind a work desk. The textile surface protects wires from abrasion, heat from the hot air gun quickly shrinks it, resulting in neatly and securely arranged wiring. Due to its self-extinguishing properties and resistance up to +150 °C, it can be used in electronics, automation, electrical appliances, and in cars.
