Polyamide Braided Sleeving: Cable Protection and Clear Identification
Polyamide braided sleeving bundles cables and wires while protecting them against mechanical stress and abrasion. Its flexible braided construction adapts to the cable bundle and helps keep cables neatly routed, even in complex wiring harnesses.
Tracer threads make identification easier
A coloured tracer thread can help distinguish similar wires or assemblies at a glance. It can be incorporated into sleeving in a base colour, for example grey sleeving with an orange or black tracer. This keeps the base colour while making the identification easy to see.
The meaning of each colour can be defined to suit the application. For example, orange could identify a specific electrical function, while black could mark an assembly or product variant. There is no universal colour code: the customer’s specification determines the colour assignment.
Flexible for a range of applications
Polyamide braided sleeving is suitable for bundling, routing and protecting cables and wires. Depending on the design, it can cover temperature ranges of approximately −55 °C to +180 °C. The actual operating range depends on the technical specifications of the individual product.
