UV Resistant Wrap Around Split Braided Cable Sleeve

UV Resistant Wrap Around Split Braided Cable Sleeve

MJ FLEX UV Resistant Wrap Around Split Braided Cable Sleeve is designed to protect wires and cable bundles exposed to sunlight and outdoor environments.
Made from UV-stabilized PET monofilament and multifilament yarns, this flexible wrap around cable sleeve features a self-wrapping split structure that allows easy installation without disconnecting wires or connectors.
The material has successfully completed a 1,000-hour xenon-arc weathering test according to ISO 4892-2, demonstrating excellent flexibility and mechanical-property retention with no visible cracking or embrittlement.

Why Choose UV Resistant Split Sleeving?

Standard PET split sleeving may gradually fade, harden or lose flexibility after prolonged exposure to sunlight.
SBW-PET-UV uses a UV-stabilized PET formulation to improve resistance to ultraviolet radiation while maintaining the flexibility, abrasion resistance and easy installation of conventional wrap around braided cable sleeving.
Its openable design makes it particularly suitable for outdoor wire harnesses that cannot use closed braided sleeving because of large connectors, branches or maintenance requirements.

ISO 4892-2 UV Test Results

The UV-stabilized PET material was tested under xenon-arc light exposure to evaluate its resistance to simulated sunlight, heat and moisture.

The results show that the material maintains good flexibility and mechanical performance after prolonged artificial weathering exposure.
Accelerated weathering results are intended for material comparison and do not represent an exact outdoor service life.

Specification

Typical Applications

1.Solar and photovoltaic equipment1. Solar and Photovoltaic Equipment
Protects exposed DC cables, grounding wires and cable bundles from sunlight, abrasion and daily weathering. The split wrap-around design enables installation without disconnecting existing cables or connectors.

2. EV Charging Stations
Suitable for protecting internal wiring and outdoor cable bundles exposed to UV radiation and mechanical wear. The openable structure also simplifies inspection, maintenance and cable replacement.

3. Outdoor Electrical Cabinets
Organizes and protects wires around outdoor control cabinets, enclosures and power distribution equipment. Its UV-stabilized PET construction helps maintain flexibility under prolonged sunlight exposure.

4. Automotive Wire Harnesses
Provides lightweight abrasion protection for wire harnesses exposed to sunlight, vibration and friction. The self-wrapping design accommodates branched harnesses and allows wires to enter or exit at any point.

5. Commercial and Agricultural Vehicles
Protects wiring in trucks, buses, tractors and agricultural equipment operating under sunlight, dust and frequent vibration. The flexible split construction facilitates installation around existing harnesses.

6. Construction Machinery
Suitable for excavators, loaders and other outdoor equipment where cables are exposed to UV radiation, abrasion, vibration and regular maintenance. The sleeve can be reopened for convenient inspection or cable replacement.

7. Railway and Transportation Equipment
Helps organize and protect cable bundles exposed to mechanical wear and indirect or direct sunlight. Its wrap-around construction is suitable for complex and branched wiring systems.

Applications requiring specific flame-retardant, smoke or toxicity performance should use a version tested to the applicable railway or transportation standard.

8. Outdoor Lighting Systems
Protects power and control cables used in streetlights, landscape lighting, signage and architectural lighting. UV resistance helps reduce premature hardening and deterioration caused by sunlight exposure.

9. Communication Equipment
Suitable for outdoor antennas, base stations, monitoring systems and communication cabinets. It protects cable bundles from UV exposure and abrasion while allowing easy access for upgrades and maintenance.

10. Industrial Machinery
Provides abrasion protection and cable organization for machinery operating outdoors or in partially exposed environments. The split design allows fast installation over assembled cables without removing terminals or connectors.

Frequently Asked Questions

1.Is this split cable sleeve suitable for outdoor use?
Yes. It is manufactured from UV-stabilized PET and has completed a 1,000-hour test according to ISO 4892-2.

2.What is the difference between wrap around sleeving and expandable braided sleeving?
Wrap around sleeving has a longitudinal split and can be installed over existing cable bundles. Closed expandable braided sleeving requires the wires or connectors to pass through the sleeve.

3.Can it be installed without disconnecting the cables?
Yes. The split, self-wrapping construction allows the sleeve to be installed without removing connectors or terminals.

4.Can cables enter or exit from the middle of the sleeve?
Yes. Individual wires and branches can enter or exit at almost any position along the sleeve.

5.Is the sleeve waterproof?
No. Its braided and split construction provides UV, abrasion and mechanical protection but does not form a waterproof seal.

6.Which color is recommended for outdoor applications?
Black is recommended because properly formulated black PET generally provides better UV resistance than lighter colors.

7.Can UV resistance and flame retardancy be combined?
Yes. MJ FLEX can develop UV-resistant and flame-retardant versions according to the required specifications. Final performance should be verified by the corresponding tests.

8.Can you provide samples and test reports?
Yes. Product samples, technical datasheets and available ISO 4892-2 test documentation can be provided upon request.
