Heat shrink tube Cabletech 10 mm × 1 m, black

Heat shrink tube Cabletech 10 mm × 1 m, black is a flexible polyolefin sleeve designed to insulate, protect and bundle wires and cable joints. With a nominal 10 mm diameter and 1 m length, this black heat-shrink tubing provides a uniform protective layer when exposed to heat, improving mechanical protection and strain relief for electrical connections. It is suitable for small-to-medium wiring tasks in electronics, automotive and general electrical repair where a clean, reliable insulation is required.

Advantages

The Cabletech heat shrink tube offers consistent shrinkage and a durable, heat-formed fit that reduces exposure of conductors and connectors. Its black finish conceals wiring runs and blends with typical cable colors, while the polyolefin material resists abrasion and provides basic environmental protection. The 1 m length allows multiple uses from a single piece for spot repairs or bundling, and the product is easy to apply using a heat gun or controlled flame from a safe distance.

Suitable for

• Insulating soldered joints and splices in electronic circuits
• Automotive wiring repairs and harness protection
• General cable management and bundling in home or workshop projects
• Protecting connectors and terminals from abrasion and light moisture

Key specifications

• Material: polyolefin heat-shrinkable tubing
• Nominal expanded diameter: 10 mm
• Length: 1 m
• Colour: black
• Shrink method: thermal shrink (heat application required)

How to use

Select a piece of tubing slightly longer than the area to be covered. Slide the tubing over the wire, joint or connector before making the final connection if possible. Apply heat evenly along the length of the tubing with a heat gun, moving back and forth until the tubing uniformly conforms and tightens around the underlying components. Allow the tubing to cool and inspect the seal. If access to one side is limited, heat carefully after completing the connection, maintaining a safe distance to avoid overheating adjacent components.

Usage recommendations

For consistent results use a temperature-controlled heat gun set to the manufacturer-recommended temperature range for polyolefin tubing. Avoid direct contact with open flame on sensitive components and ensure proper ventilation when heating. Choose a slightly larger diameter tubing if covering connectors or bundled cables, and trim the length after cooling for a neat finish.
