Overview
Braided Heat Shrink Tubing 8 mm 3 m Textile Sleeve for Cables Shrink Ratio 2:1 Self-Extinguishing Cable Protection in Cars

The braided heat shrink tubing combines the properties of classic heat shrink tubing and durable textile braiding. This piece has an internal diameter of 8 mm and a length of 3 m, making it suitable for power cables, thicker conductors, and smaller cable bundles. When heated with hot air, the braid shrinks at a ratio of 2:1 and tightly wraps around the protected wiring. The braided surface is flexible, highly resistant to abrasion, and according to the manufacturer, helps reduce cable noise. The three-metre length is sufficient to protect several power cables or one longer bundle of conductors.

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 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 in electrical appliances that heat up during operation. The tubing can be used to protect joints, terminate cables, extend conductors, or bundle 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 multiplying the sum of the width and height 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 8 mm is a practical accessory for anyone repairing, modifying, or newly installing electrical systems. The length of 3 m is sufficient to protect cabling in cars, power cables for computers, or several smaller bundles. The textile surface protects conductors from abrasion, the 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, in electrical appliances, and in cars.
