SPIDER Automation | PET Expandable Braided Cable Sleeving – 1 Meter, Black, 10mm Width | Flexible Wire Bundling & Abrasion Protection
Product Overview & Braided PET Construction
The SPIDER Automation PET Expandable Braided Cable Sleeving is designed to organise and protect electrical wires, cables and compatible wiring bundles. Manufactured from polyethylene terephthalate (PET), this braided sleeve provides a flexible outer covering that helps protect cables against everyday abrasion, friction and surface wear.
Its expandable braided construction allows the sleeve to open wider during installation to accommodate multiple compatible wires and cables. Once the cable bundle is positioned inside, the sleeve contracts towards its normal braided form, helping keep the wires grouped together in a cleaner and more organised arrangement.
The flexible design also supports installation over existing cable bundles, making it useful for cable management work where individual wires do not need to be disconnected. The tight braided structure creates a protective barrier around the cable group while maintaining flexibility for routing through compatible equipment and assemblies.
Supplied in black with a specified length of 100cm (1 meter) and width of 10mm, this sleeve is suitable for general cable organisation in electronics, electrical systems, control panels and equipment installations.
Technical Features & Performance Characteristics
- PET Braided Material: Manufactured from polyethylene terephthalate, a flexible material used for braided cable covering and protection.
- Expandable Design: The braided construction expands to accommodate compatible cable bundles of varying sizes within its expansion capacity.
- Tight Braided Construction: Creates an organised outer covering around grouped wires and helps reduce direct contact with abrasive surfaces.
- Abrasion Protection: Provides a protective barrier that helps minimise everyday surface wear caused by friction and cable movement.
- Flexible Cable Routing: Can be arranged around compatible cable bundles while maintaining flexibility for installation and equipment wiring layouts.
- Installation Over Existing Bundles: Supports fitting over existing cables without requiring individual wire disconnection, subject to access and bundle dimensions.
- Black Finish: Provides a neat, uniform appearance for cable assemblies and equipment installations.
- 1-Meter Supplied Length: Provides 100cm of braided sleeving for cable protection and organisation.
- 10mm Specified Width: Provides the stated width for identifying and selecting the sleeve for suitable cable bundles.
Performance Advantages
- Improved Cable Organisation: Helps group multiple wires into a single organised bundle, reducing loose and tangled cable arrangements.
- Reduced Surface Abrasion: The braided outer covering helps protect enclosed cables from everyday rubbing and friction.
- Flexible Bundle Accommodation: Expandable construction makes it easier to fit the sleeve around compatible groups of wires.
- Cleaner Equipment Layout: The black braided finish provides a uniform appearance for internal wiring and exposed cable runs.
- Convenient Retrofitting: Can be installed over accessible existing cable bundles without disconnecting individual wires.
- Protective Cable Covering: Adds an external layer around grouped cables, helping protect them from routine handling and contact with surrounding surfaces.
Industrial, Commercial & Technical Applications
- Electronics Assemblies: For bundling and covering compatible internal wiring within electronic equipment.
- Control Panel Wiring: Helps organise groups of electrical wires into cleaner cable runs.
- Computer and Networking Systems: Suitable for organising compatible power, data and peripheral cable bundles.
- Robotics and Automation: Helps group wiring harnesses in compatible equipment and automation assemblies.
- Automotive Wiring Organisation: Can be used as an external braided covering for suitable cable bundles where environmental and temperature requirements are met.
- Industrial Equipment: Supports cable organisation and external abrasion protection in compatible machinery installations.
- Electrical Maintenance: Useful for tidying and covering existing accessible wire bundles.
- General Cable Management: Suitable for organising wires in workstations, workshops, equipment racks and other installations.

Installation & Operating Recommendations
- Check Cable Bundle Size: Measure the cable bundle and confirm that the sleeve’s normal and expanded dimensions are suitable before installation.
- Prepare the Cable Bundle: Arrange the wires neatly and remove sharp edges or protrusions that could snag the braided material.
- Expand the Sleeve: Gently compress the braided sleeving lengthwise to increase its opening and make cable insertion easier.
- Insert or Cover the Cables: Feed the cable bundle through the sleeve or fit the sleeve over an accessible existing bundle.
- Position the Sleeving: Distribute the braided covering evenly along the required cable section and allow it to return towards its normal diameter.
- Finish the Ends: Use a suitable cable-sleeving termination method if required to reduce fraying. The source does not specify included end caps or termination accessories.
- Verify Application Suitability: Confirm temperature, electrical insulation and environmental requirements before using the sleeve in demanding installations.
