Spiral Wrap and Expandable Sleeving are protective solutions designed to organize and safeguard cables and wires across various applications. As a product category, these materials primarily function to insulate, protect against abrasion, and offer a tidy management system for wire assemblies. Spiral Wrap is a flexible, helical-shaped sheath that wraps around bundles of wires or cables, allowing for breakout at any point for branching or routing. Expandable Sleeving, on the other hand, is made from a woven or braided material that can expand and contract, snugly fitting over irregular shapes and sizes of wire bundles, providing easy installation and a custom fit.
These protective coverings are commonly integrated within electronic systems, automotive wiring, and industrial machinery, underscoring their versatility and utility in environments where wire protection is crucial. Not only do they minimize wear and tear caused by friction and external eLEMents, but they also enhance safety by reducing the risks of electrical shorts and entangLEMent. Spiral Wrap is especially suited for applications requiring frequent changes in the wiring setup, offering reusable and adjustable protection. Leading manufacturers of Spiral Wrap and Expandable Sleeving include Techflex, Alpha Wire, and Panduit.
