Nylon 16mm Expandable Braided Sleeve - 2M Wire Protection

The 16mm Nylon Expandable Braided Sleeve is an essential solution for robust cable and wire protection, offering insulation, clear identification, and an improved aesthetic. Crafted from durable PA 6.6 nylon, this softer alternative to traditional PET sleeves helps organize and tidy cable wire harnesses effectively. It safeguards hoses, cable assemblies, and wire bundles from abrasion and damage caused by constant wear and movement, making it ideal for dynamic environments.

Nylon’s inherent properties protect wires from damage due to internal and external heat, chemical reactions, and humidity. Its unique braided structure ensures excellent ventilation, preventing moisture accumulation. The sleeve boasts an impressive expansion ratio of up to 150% of its original diameter, providing exceptional flexibility and ease of application over varying bundle sizes and shapes, including those with bulky connectors. This allows for obstruction-free cable grooming while reducing overall harness weight.

Beyond abrasion protection, this braided sleeving offers resistance against various chemicals, salts, solvents, and petroleum products. It maintains its shape after bending or crushing, exhibits high resistance to heat up to 125°C, and is self-extinguishing (UL94V-2). It’s commonly utilized in robotics, 3D printers, humanoid robots, and diverse electrical and industrial wire harnessing applications where durability and economy are paramount for protecting wires, cables, tubing, and pneumatic hoses.
