Overview
Braided Heat Shrink Tubing 4 mm 8 m Textile Sleeve for Cables Shrink Ratio 2:1 Self-Extinguishing Cable Bundle Protection

Braided heat shrink tubing combines a flexible textile braid with the ability to shrink when heated. This piece has an internal diameter of 4 mm and a length of 8 m, making it suitable for thin wires, individual cables, and smaller cable bundles. When heated with hot air, the braid contracts at a ratio of 2:1 and tightly encases the protected wiring. The braided surface is flexible, highly resistant to abrasion, and according to the manufacturer, helps to dampen cable noise. The eight metres in one continuous piece will be appreciated when adjusting wiring in the workshop, in the distribution board, or in the car, where you need various lengths of sections.

Shrinking begins at approximately 80 °C and the tubing achieves full shrinkage around 120 °C. A hot air gun can be used for heating, and the manufacturer also mentions the possibility of using a lighter. After cooling, a continuous textile layer remains on the cable, protecting the insulation 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 use in vehicles or electrical appliances that heat up during operation. The tubing protects connections, cable terminations, and extended wires, and allows you to bundle several thin cables into one neat bundle.

Select the size based on the diameter of the cable. The manufacturer recommends tubing approximately 3 mm larger than the diameter of the protected wiring. For flat cables or bundles with a rectangular cross-section, add the width and height, multiply the result by two, divide by 3.14, and add 3 mm. The eight metres of tubing comes as one continuous piece, allowing you to cut it into sections exactly as needed before shrinking. Slide it onto the cable before connecting the connectors, move it to the desired position, and evenly heat it along its entire length.

The braided heat shrink tubing with a diameter of 4 mm and a length of 8 m is a practical helper for repairs and new electrical installations. An eight-metre supply is sufficient to protect multiple cable bundles or several longer runs without the need to purchase additional pieces. The textile surface protects the wires from abrasion, and after shrinking with hot air, it keeps the wiring neatly together. Thanks to its self-extinguishing properties and resistance up to +150 °C, it can be used in electronics, automation, electrical appliances, and in vehicles.
