Microconnect cable sleeve - Black

The primary advantage is its combination of durable abrasion resistance, flame retardancy, and halogen-free material, offering robust protection and safety for cables and hoses in various applications.

Yes, the sleeve's temperature range (-50°C to +150°C), abrasion resistance, and flame-retardant properties make it suitable for many automotive wiring and hose management needs.

The sleeve can expand to at least 1.5 times its initial dimension. For the 2cm diameter sleeve, this means it can accommodate bundles up to approximately 3cm in diameter.

The open weave construction offers mechanical protection but does not provide a sealed barrier against liquids or fine dust. For liquid protection, a solid sleeve or conduit would be more appropriate.

'Halogen-free' means the material does not contain halogens like chlorine or bromine. This is important because halogenated materials can release toxic and corrosive gases when burned.

A sharp utility knife or scissors can be used. For the cleanest finish and to prevent fraying, using a hot knife to simultaneously cut and seal the edge is recommended.

The sleeve can operate effectively in temperatures ranging from -50°C to +150°C.

Ensure the sleeve is sufficiently expanded. You may need to trim the sleeve end at an angle or use a larger size if the connectors are exceptionally bulky.

The chosen sleeve size might be too large for the bundle. Consider using a smaller diameter sleeve for future applications or try to minimize the bundle's diameter before installation.

Use a sharp cutting tool, preferably a hot knife, to seal the edges immediately after cutting. This will prevent fraying and provide a cleaner finish.

Ensure the sleeve is sized correctly for a snug fit. For added security on static installations, consider using cable ties or heat shrink tubing at the ends of the sleeve.
