Braided protective sleeving from TE Connectivity and Systems Protection
Braided sleeving, also known as braided cable sleeving, is a type of cable protection used to shield electrical cables and wires from wear, damage, and exposure to the elements. The sleeving consists of a flexible, braided material that is wrapped around the cable to provide an additional layer of protection. Idetrading Electronics offers a versatile range of braided sleeving from leading manufacturers such as TE Connectivity Raychem and Systems Protection.
Materials and options for braided sleeving
The braided sleeving can be made from various materials, such as fiberglass, polyester, or nylon, depending on the application requirements. Some braided sleeves are treated with coatings like silicone or polyurethane to protect against moisture, abrasion, or chemical exposure.
Braided sleeving is available in different diameters, making it suitable for use on cables of various sizes. They can also be provided in different colors to assist with cable identification.
Applications and benefits of braided sleeving
Braided cable sleeving is often used in applications where cables are subject to wear, such as in the automotive, aerospace, and defense industries. They not only provide protection against wear and damage but can also help keep cables organized and bundled, contributing to the overall safety and efficiency of the system.
