Loom Tubing & Sleeves

Loom tubing and sleeves help installers, maintenance teams, and wire-harness professionals organize, enclose, and cover wire and cable bundles. Common commercial uses include cable management on existing runs, coverage for harness assemblies in electronic communication and power systems, abrasion-resistant enclosure, and neat finishing at wire-harness terminations around connectors and wires.

Choose Loom Tubing and Sleeves for the Way Your Cables Are Installed

The products in this category include split wrappable braided and woven cable sleeves, plus polyolefin heat shrink tubing. Start by deciding whether the cable bundle must be covered after it is already assembled or whether tubing will be installed over a connector end before shrinking. Then compare the stated diameter, length, construction, overlap, and coverage needs of the application.

Use Cases

Organize and cover cable bundles

Split wrap sleeves are designed to enclose and organize existing wire and cable bundles. They are suited to cable-management work by installers and maintenance teams, as well as harness coverage in electronic communication and power systems.

How to Choose

Match the sleeve style to installation

Choose a split wrap style when cables need to be enclosed without taking the assembly apart. Choose 3:1 heat shrink tubing for finishing harness ends around compatible connector ends and wires.

Applications

Cover runs, harnesses, and terminations

Braided split sleeves allow wires to be added or removed and can cover inline plugs, connectors, and splices. Woven sleeves provide overlapping, abrasion-resistant coverage for cable and harness assemblies.

Additional Info

Planning Guide

Plan the right fit before choosing

Select by installation method

Use split wrap sleeves on existing cable assemblies

Split wrappable sleeves open along the side so they can be placed around existing wire and cable runs without threading the harness through a closed sleeve. Their self-closing or overlapping designs provide wraparound coverage, while accessible routing lets users add or remove wires without disassembling the bundle.

  • Split braided sleeves are flexible and self-closing.
  • Woven split wrap sleeves provide elastic flexibility around harness assemblies.
  • Some split sleeve designs provide coverage around inline plugs, connectors, and splices.
Select by coverage needs

Compare braided, woven, and heat shrink options

Braided split sleeves are intended for flexible cable-bundle coverage and tight bends. Woven split wrap sleeves combine elastic flexibility, extra or overlapping coverage, and abrasion resistance. Polyolefin heat shrink tubing has a 3:1 shrink ratio for fitting over compatible connector ends before shrinking closely around wires.

  • Choose woven sleeves when abrasion-resistant coverage is needed.
  • Consider extra overlap for more complete enclosure of important wires.
  • Use heat shrink tubing for a snug finish at wire-harness terminations.
Plan the size and length

Match the product to the bundle and project run

Compare the stated diameter with the wire bundle or compatible connector end, then choose a length that suits the planned coverage. The represented split sleeves are available in 10-, 25-, 40-, 50-, and 75-foot lengths, with diameters from 1-1/4 to 2 inches.

  • A 10-foot, 2-inch woven sleeve is available for larger wire bundles.
  • 25-foot options include 1-1/4-inch split braided, 1-1/2-inch woven, and 1-1/2-inch heat shrink tubing.
  • Longer split sleeve options include 40-, 50-, and 75-foot lengths.
FAQ

Common questions before buying

What is the difference between split wrap sleeve and heat shrink tubing?

Split wrap sleeves open around existing cable bundles without disassembly. Heat shrink tubing fits over compatible connector ends before shrinking closely around wires.
