100ft - 1/4 inch PET Expandable Braided Sleeving – Black – Alex Tech Braided Cable Sleeve

Good quality. Works great for JDs garage mini CNC build. Buying more for my 26 Model T build!

I recently purchased the Alex Tech 100ft 1/2 inch PET Expandable Braided Sleeving in black, and I am extremely pleased with its performance. This product has proven to be an excellent solution for managing and protecting my cables both at home and in my vehicle. **Quality and Durability** The braided sleeving is made from high-quality PET material, which offers excellent abrasion resistance and durability. It can withstand temperatures ranging from -103°F to 257°F, with a melt point of 446°F, making it suitable for various environments, including automotive engines and high-performance audio systems. **Ease of Use** One of the standout features of this sleeving is its expandability. It can expand up to 50% of its nominal diameter, allowing it to easily cover cables, hoses, and wires, even those with bulky connectors. The flexibility of the material ensures that it can conform to various shapes without compromising its protective capabilities. **Versatility** I have used this sleeving in multiple applications, such as organizing the wiring harnesses in my car, protecting HDMI and audio cables in my home theater setup, and even tidying up the cables behind my computer desk. Its moisture-resistant properties prevent rot and fungus, ensuring the longevity of the cables it protects. **Installation Tips** For best results, it is recommended to cut the sleeving with a hot knife to prevent fraying. If a hot knife is not available, searing the edges with a lighter or another heat source works well to maintain the integrity of the sleeve. **Overall Experience** Overall, the Alex Tech expandable braided sleeving has exceeded my expectations. It is economical, easy to install, and highly effective at prolonging the life of my cables. I would highly recommend this product to anyone looking for a reliable cable management solution. This product has been a great investment in keeping my electronics organized and protected. I am thoroughly satisfied with its performance and durability.

good quality nicely packaged and what i needed. wires protected.

Frays really easily if you don't use a hot knife. If you do use a hot knife the cut end will not expand.. So delima... I ended up using heat shrink on all the ends so the fray didn't effect the look. This stuff seems sturdy and strong. Made the project look great.

Works well and does everything that it claims to do well made? Haven't had any trouble using it. Just wish they had ones that were wider and fatter. The best I could get was 3/8. I would have preferred getting one that was at least one inch wide but this was the biggest you can get. I was using the three quarter inch one and while they worked some of the areas in my home have a lot of wires in it and some of them just fit without me having to separate them but still a good quality product and I would buy it again if I ever needed it. If he wants something with decent cable management, this one is a good way to go. The only thing is if you have a lot of wires and you need to pull some slack and thread it through these. If you have too many tied together, it's too tight and it won't easily slide out. So take that into account before you step a whole bunch of wires into this system. Try to leave a little bit of slack if you can. And a little bit of looseness. It is flexible but it's so well made that it is a little on the tight side. Otherwise worth the money

This is good sleeving for holding wires in place. You need to know how to use and make this work for you without being a disaster. I should make a video,to explain how to use this technique and product to provide an understanding of how it works. This is great for planned projects, it will organize and keep your circuit clean and secure. It will hide all the cables or wires in a nice way that ie easy, and flexible. Super lightweight and easy to use after you understand it.

Great quality, just as advertised.

This braided conduit is a good protective sheath for wiring, and it does that job well. The problem is with the specified diameter. This sheathing is expandable, but as you expand it, it shortens in length. I bought 1inch, but to get it to except a 1 inch cable you have to expand it from its natural size which is about three-quarter. This shortens the sheathing about 1 and 1/2 inches per foot so by the time I get to the end of a 25 foot roll with my 1 inch cable I have lost almost 30 inches in sheathing length. This size roll should have been labeled 3/4 inch. So be sure, and order one size larger than the diameter of the wire you’re sheathing if length is critical.

Los cables quedan perfectamente guardados, fácil de usar y manejar.

Fácil de usar, cuando hago la instalación de cada linea de mi camioneta le da un mejor acabado y no necesito meterle cinta o cinchos 👍

After reading an article in Fine Woodworking Magazine where the author had used this exact product to reduce damage to his vacuum hoses. I decided to give it a try. It works better than I could have hoped. The hoses it covers are from an old Kirby Vac and a Nilfisk vac. There is no significant catching on the back edge of track saw tracks and with a small nylon plate I had made up there is zero catching. I also use this on a dedicated Hegner finger joint machine. I believe the only reason this is not fitted to all industrial hoses is that it would limit the sale of spare parts hoses. All the best.

Bought this a while and gone through most. I do a lot of cables for friends ( it's always nice to call in favors later on ! ) as I guess they like my work. I find the colored sleeving such as this red and also blue are both very popular as it give it that certain slick look. Black use to be the thing however it seems people want that color accent the past couple years. Not much to say, it's good stuff. 1. high quality 2. smooth thread - meaning the threads themselves to make up this sleeving are even and don't make things catch 3. true size - you grab X size you get X size. Not like you buy 3/4 and get poor quality and it ends up being just over 1/2. UG TIP: I use a small butane click torch right after I do a cut. Not to go nuts and melt the end entirely but just a quick heat flash over that end to weld together a few of those sleeving threads from having the end unravel. TIP: If you melt the end entirely what you'll find is that end part will not expand properly as the way it should so you'll find yourself cutting it off and redoing the cut or trying to force your wire through that smaller opening. Forcing it will just lead to frustration. TIP: If you've never worked with this type of stuff before, think of an inch worm especially the longer distance wires you need to sleeve. Fish some wire into the sleeve, then hold that beginning spot...then go to where the wire ends inside the sleeve and pull only the sleeve down. As you do this the wire will work its way further up the sleeving with ease, just like an inch worm moves on a leaf. Might sound weird to explain it but it works like a charm. TIP: At times the wires we need to sleeve are sharp ( wire itself or the wire jacket ) and they catch on the inside of the sleeve, in this case use a bit of electrical tape folded over evenly as doing this will make the wire slide much easier especially if you have a longer length of wire to sleeve. FINAL TIP: Heatshrink tubing, heatshrink tubing, heatshrink tubing. Make sure you have! Get those sleeve ends done up so they don't unravel and to make your job nice and neat. Again I use a butane click torch which works absolutely perfect. This stuff is high quality and I recommend this to absolutely everybody. Helpful, is how I hope you find my review.

I used the 50ft 1/4″ & 1/2″ PET Expandable Braided Sleeving for automotive wiring, and it exceeded my expectations. The expandable design made it easy to slide over wire bundles, and once installed, it gave everything a clean, professional look. The PET material is tough, heat-resistant, and holds up well in the engine bay. It also helps protect wires from abrasion and vibration. Excellent quality and plenty of length—definitely worth it for any car or truck wiring project.
