Interference-Shielding Expandable Sleeving
Protect wire and cable from signal distortion caused by nearby equipment and devices. Expandable, this sleeving stretches to fit over items for easy installation, then tightens around its contents for a secure fit. The braided construction permits heat and moisture to dissipate. This sleeving is also used to insulate and organize wire and cable. Cut to size with sheet metal snips.
Copper sleeving is more conductive than aluminum sleeving, so it resists more signal interference.
Aluminum sleeving is about one-third the weight and reflects more heat away from its contents than copper sleeving. However, it doesn’t resist as much signal interference.
Aramid fabric sleeving combines the benefits of copper and aluminum sleeving. It’s shielded with copper foil to resist high amounts of signal interference, while the aramid fabric weighs half as much and reflects more heat than copper alone.

Interference-Shielding Wrap-Around Sleeving
Use this shielded sleeving to protect wire and cable from signal distortion caused by nearby equipment and devices. A sewn-in ground wire dissipates any stored charge. It provides good protection against abrasion. Wrap it around wire and cable without disconnecting them; sleeving has a slit along the entire length.
Sleeving with an overlap closure wraps over itself and stays closed without an adhesive strip or other closure, so it can be removed and reused. Sleeving with an adhesive strip closure is permanently sealed when the adhesive is applied.
Sleeving with copper wire shielding is ultra-flexible, so it’s good for applications that require tight turns. Sleeving with foil shielding is for use in stationary applications. Repeated flexing will damage the foil. Sleeving with conductive cloth shielding can withstand continuous motion without tearing or fraying. It’s often used to protect wire, cable, and hose in robotics and other automated applications.
Polyester fabric sleeving has good abrasion and tear resistance. Polyurethane rubber sleeving provides excellent resistance to solvents, oil, and grease.
Flame rated VW-1 sleeving meets requirements for preventing the spread of flames based on a timed test with vertically suspended material.

Interference-Shielding Tape Sleeving
With a copper and nickel exterior and conductive lining, this sleeving shields your wire and cable from signal interference. Use it near equipment that creates signal distortion, such as transformers, generators, and motors. It’s made of polyester taffeta cloth, so it’s light and flexible. Plus, its coating resists corrosion.
You can wrap this sleeving like tape around wire and cable while they’re installed, so it’s great for emergency patches. When wrapping, make sure it overlaps itself by half its width. This ensures 98% shielding coverage to keep your components protected.

Interference-Shielding Heat-Shrink Tubing
- Material: Polyolefin Plastic
- Dielectric Strength: 500V/mil
- Shrink Temperature: 190° F
- Temperature Range: -65° to 275° F
- Specifications Met: See Table
A layer of conductive cloth protects wire and cable from signal interference caused by nearby equipment and devices. This tubing is often used to cover a terminal where an existing shield has been stripped for a connector. For a tight seal over irregularly shaped objects, it shrinks down to a quarter of its original ID.
Note: For proper grounding, a conductive wire or braid strip (not included) should be wound around the outside of wires or attached by conductive epoxy (not included) prior to shrinking.
