Alpha Wire Expandable Braided Tin Plated Copper Silver Cable Sleeve, 30m Length 0.781 in Cable Diameter, FIT Wire

Belden FIT Wire Management Series Cable Sleeve, 30m Sleeve Length, Silver - 2172 SV005

This cable sleeve is a braided, expandable protective sleeve designed for managing and shielding wiring in industrial and technical settings. Constructed from tinned copper, it provides metallic coverage for cable runs while remaining flexible for routing and bundling in automation, electrical and mechanical environments. Supplied in a 30m length and finished in silver, it is suitable for continuous installations where conductive protection and neat cable presentation are required.

Features & Benefits

• Braided construction provides conformable coverage for cable bundles
  Tinned copper material offers conductive shielding and corrosion resistance
  Expandable design enables easy routing around connectors and branches
  Supports a minimum cable diameter of 0.031 in for fine wiring
  Accommodates a maximum cable diameter of 0.781 in for larger harnesses
  Supplied in 30m length to cover extended runs without joins

**Applications**

• Suitable for EMI mitigation in control cabinets and enclosures
  Ideal for wire-harness protection in industrial automation systems
  Used with sensor and signal cables in electronics assemblies
  Can be used for cable management in mechanical equipment routing
  Suitable for retrofit sleeving of existing cable looms in electrical panels

How does the sleeve behave when routed through tight spaces?

Its braided, expandable form permits significant diameter reduction and lateral compression, allowing passage through confined routes while restoring coverage once deployed.

What handling considerations apply during installation?

The metallic braid requires cutting with appropriate tools to prevent fraying
ends can be secured with crimps or heat-shrink terminations to maintain integrity.

How does the material affect electrical performance?

The tinned copper construction provides a conductive surface that can serve as an EMI screen when bonded to system earthing, and the tin finish reduces surface oxidation.

Can the sleeve be used across a range of cable sizes?

Yes
the design spans very small to moderately large conductors, enabling use from fine signal leads up to bulkier power or multi-core cables.
