, The Reason Why... Fast Installation Unlike other techniques for cable management, expandable sleeving goes on fast and is able to go over connectors up to 3 times the size of the finished harness. Long Length Capability The unique characteristics of COVERIT expandable sleeving allow it to easily slide over cable installations as long as 1,000 Feet. No pulling or fishing required. Extreme Flexibility Unlike stiff plastic coverings, harnesses built with expandable sleeving can be tightly coiled, curved around obstructions and routed to their destination easier. COVERIT sleeving easily conforms...

General Purpose MCC Braided Sleeve Scissor Cut for Easy, Fray Resistant Installation in Production or Field By adjusting the physical characteristics of the polyethylene terepthalate filaments, the engineers have produced a product with the same specifications of our MPT and the unique advantage of being able to cut the material with ordinary scissors and still maintain an extraordinarily fray-resistant end. It is ideal for field installers and other situations where access to a hot knife is impossible. MCC’s fray-resistant properties allows frequent expansion at the cut-end without unraveling....
