Polyester Braided Sleeving
Designed for thermal insulation and mechanical protection, our polyester braided sleeving (aka cable sock) offers durable abrasion resistance in a wide range of commercial and industrial applications.
The special braid characteristics allow for the expansion of its internal diameter, whilst contracting its length, allowing easy assembly of cable bundling and the general protection of electrical conductors and other components.

FAQs
Whilst polyester braided sleeving isn’t strictly speaking ‘necessary’, we believe it shouldn’t just be seen as an optional extra – especially if you want to keep your wires organised and protected.
For cables installed in particularly harsh areas, outdoor cable sleeving is a must.
It offers excellent protection against various environmental factors – including resistance to chemicals and solvents, as well as UV and abrasion resistance – making it ideal for outdoor applications.
Our flexible, lightweight cable sleeves here at Flex-It can expand up to one and a half times more than their original dimensions – which accommodates multiple different cables at one time.
What’s more, they’re super quick and simple to install, and thanks to the open weave construction, they offer excellent heat dissipation properties too.
Installing a cable sleeve is an incredibly simple DIY-type task, and because all of our cable sleeves are cut to length – the job is made even easier.
There’s no need to take measurements or tedious cutting processes involved. Simply insert your wires – holding one side of the sleeving down with one hand – and push it together with the other, releasing the grip of your first hand, and repeating these steps until your cables are completely covered.
