Product Description


Flexo® Shield Braided Sleeving Logo

Techflex® Flexo® Shield

Flexo® Shield is an expandable, high performance sleeving that provides a high level of EMI (ElectroMagnetic Interference) shielding. Flexo® Shield is cut and abrasion resistant, very flexible, strong and lightweight. With its high temperature aramid fiber core and special construction, Flexo® Shield expands to fit over plugs and connectors and contracts back down for a perfect fit. Flexo® Shield is great for applications where light weight and high performance are needed. Such applications may include computer systems, electronic office equipment, medical electronics, communications systems and many more. This product is intended for high flex, high temperature, and environmentally tough conditions, making it appropriate for use in aerospace applications.

What Are The Benefits of Metal Sleeving Products?

EMI/RFI Shielding: Metal braided sleeving provides excellent electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI) shielding. The metal braids in the sleeve create a conductive shield that blocks out interference and prevents signal loss.

Durability: Metal braided sleeving is extremely durable and can withstand high temperatures, abrasion, and chemicals. This makes it an ideal choice for use in harsh environments or in applications where the sleeving may be subjected to high stress or wear and tear.

Beauty & Aesthetics: Metal braided sleeving can be an attractive choice for use in applications where appearance is important. The sleeving can be made from a variety of metals, including stainless steel, copper, and brass which can add a unique finish to your project

Easy Installation: Metal braided sleeving is easy to install and can be cut to length using shears. It can also be secured in place using a variety of methods, including heat shrink tubing, cable ties, clamps, or adhesive tapes.


Tips for Installing & Terminating Braided Sleeving

How To Determine What Diameter Sleeving You Need

Bundle the cords that you’ll be covering and measure the diameter of the bundle. If you want a snug fit, choose a braided sleeving option with a slightly smaller diameter than that of your cables. If you want a loose and flexible fit, choose a braided sleeving option with a diameter that is equal to or slightly larger than that of your cables. Keep in mind that braided sleeving loses 2% to 3% of its length when it expands. Be sure to plan accordingly!


Cutting Sleeving With Shears
How To Cut Metal Sleeving Without Fray

To prevent fraying when cutting any metal braid, slip the sleeving over the intended application to get an accurate measurement, wrap the area to be cut with a couple of turns of tape, mark the cut and remove the sleeving. Use shears or serrated scissors to cut through the tape and sleeving. Don’t remove the tape until the sleeving is installed and you’re ready to terminate the end.


Terminating Braided Sleeving With Heathrink
How To Terminate Sleeving with Heatshrink Tubing

Heatshrink Tubing is the ideal way to create a tight, professional finish on any wire, hose or cable management project. Once shrunk, the tubing will hold its reduced state, even at elevated temperatures. This application can be used to protect, color code, brand, or secure ends or sections of braided sleeving. A Heat Gun is required to properly apply heatshrink tubing. You can find a guide to the proper technique for working with heatshrink tubing Here.

How to Choose The Correct Braided Sleeving

A lot of factors go into determining the correct braided sleeving wire protection method for your project. We’ve broken it down to help you narrow your search:

  • Operating Temp: Is your wire harness going to be regularly exposed to extreme temperatures or possible flames? The operating temperature of your harness is a critical consideration when choosing sleeving to ensure that the sleeving you select can withstand the intended environment and provide adequate protection.
  • Flexibility & Expansion Ratio: Flexibility is an important factor if your wire harness will be snaking around a lot of corners or curves or is frequently moving. Expansion ratio refers to the amount by which the diameter of a braided sleeving can increase when stretched. The expansion ratio of braided sleeving can vary depending on the material it is made of and the construction of the braiding.
  • Material: Braided sleeving is available in a wide range of materials to provide different levels of abrasion, UV, and chemical resistance. Material also effects wire harness weight, EMI protection, and flexibility.
  • Cutting Tool: Checking the recommended cutting tool for a sleeving product allows you to ensure you have the tools necessary for the job. If using a hot knife is not feasible for you, be sure to look for sleeving options that can be cut fraylessly with scissors.
  • Sleeve Vs. Wrap: If you are consistently changing the wires & cables of your harness then a split wrap may be a better option for you than a solid sleeving product to installation is fast & easy.
  • Industry & Environment:Techflex® braided sleeving products are organized into categories based on the most common uses of each product. If you work in a specific industry, visiting the corresponding product category may be a fast way to see applicable sleeving options for your project.
  • Color choices: Braided sleeving is great for matching, color coding, and to identify wires & cables. If color coding is your goal, make sure the product you are considering offers enough colors for your project.
