RS PRO Expandable Braided Nickel Plated Copper Cable Sleeve 10m Length 4 mm Max Diameter 181-1988

RS PRO 181-1988 Expandable Braided Nickel Plated Copper Cable Sleeve is engineered for outstanding cable protection and electromagnetic shielding in industrial, commercial, and laboratory environments. Designed with a nickel-plated copper braided construction, this Cable Sleeve delivers robust performance against electromagnetic, electrostatic, and radio frequency interference, ensuring the integrity of wire and cable harnesses in demanding applications.

Featuring a length of 10 meters and a maximum cable diameter of 4 mm (supporting cables as small as 3.5 mm), the sleeve’s expandable design allows for flexible installation and compatibility across various cable types. The metal screening braid guarantees high coverage, with up to 99% optical coverage, thereby providing optimal shielding efficiency.

This product operates effectively within a wide temperature range, from -65°C up to 260°C, making it reliable for use in extreme industrial or laboratory conditions. Its braided and expandable structure enhances cable insulation while reinforcing physical protection, especially in industrial electrical networks where operational reliability is critical.

Applications include electrical insulation, protection of signal and power cables, prevention of interference in sensitive equipment, and general shielding in manufacturing environments. The sleeve’s high expansion ratio supports easy fitting over connectors and irregular cable shapes.

RS PRO 181-1988 meets ANSI/ESD S20.20:2014 and BS EN 61340-5-1:2007 standards for electrostatic discharge safety, confirming its suitability for modern industrial and laboratory requirements.
