Overview
Braided Heat Shrink Tubing 6 mm 50 m Textile Sleeve for Cables Shrink Ratio 2:1 Self-Extinguishing Roll for Service and Workshop

The braided heat shrink tubing combines the properties of classic heat shrink tubing and durable textile sleeving. This piece has an inner diameter of 6 mm and a length of 50 m, making it suitable for thinner cables, individual wires, and smaller cable bundles. When heated with hot air, the sleeve shrinks at a ratio of 2:1 and tightly encases the protected wiring. The braided surface is flexible, highly abrasion-resistant, and according to the manufacturer, helps reduce cable noise. The fifty-metre roll is a convenient supply for workshops, electricians, and extensive cable installations.

Shrinking begins at approximately 80 °C and full shrinkage is achieved around 120 °C. A hot air gun is sufficient for heating; 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 to protect joints, terminate cables, extend wires, and group several thin cables into one tidy bundle.

When selecting the size, follow the diameter of the cable. The manufacturer recommends choosing tubing approximately 3 mm larger than the diameter of the protected wiring. 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 then 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 6 mm is a practical accessory for anyone repairing, modifying, or installing new electrical wiring. The length of 50 m serves as a long-term supply for service, workshop, and extensive projects with a larger number of cables. The textile surface protects the wires from abrasion, the heat from the hot air gun quickly shrinks it, resulting in neatly and securely arranged wiring. Thanks to its self-extinguishing properties and resistance up to +150 °C, it can be used in electronics, automation, electrical appliances, and in cars.
