TechFlex F6 0.50 inch Split sleeving 25ft

I did a lot of research looking for wire sleeving for various purposes. I ended up settling with these and I was very glad I did. It tucked in 3 different wires very well and cleaned up the appearance of my set up. The braided sleeving is durable and flexible, but not rigid. It wraps around the cables or wires you wish to tuck away very well. It's also very easy to cut to your specific size needs as well. The availability in varying sizes makes this an easy choice. I purchased two of these with the wire loom insertion tool which is a commonly bought pair. The wire loom insertion tool is a must have if you plan on tucking multiple wires over a long length.

Ok this stuff is amazing! The best cord / cable organizer ever. Its very flexible and expands and contracts to perfectly fit the cables you have inside. You need to get the right size to start however as the minimum diameters are just that. We used these to wire our recording studio and figured it would be helpful for people to know what size fits what in the real world.The 1/2 version inch will fit 4 standard extension cords or 5 xlr cables before maxing out.The 3/4 adds about 3 cords to each number. We found both of these sizes useful in our project. And the 3/4 white was awesome for hiding some cable against some finished trim😉.The 1" was a bit large. You could easily fit 9-10 cords in that maybe more. That would be a serious cable run.The material is a woven plastic that feels like rough fabric. Its quite nice stuff. You can cut it with a scissors just make sure you melt the cut edges with a lighter to keep it from unravelling / fraying.This stuff is indispensable if you want to organize your cable runs! The white would work awesome for home theaters or wall mount tv's if you needed to hide cables!

Same review posted on the 3/4 inch sleeve.By far, the best split sleeving / loom that I have used. If you are still using the brittle plastic garbage from the auto parts or big box store, you really should try this. It's very easy to open the sleeve, and it's very forgiving. You can make a larger size work for smaller wires ( zip ties to keep it tidy ) and also a smaller size can work for larger wires, again.. zip ties help.I cut mine with a perforated metal scissors and don't have an issue with frayed ends. If you really wanted to make it pretty, you could heatshrink the ends after you cut, but that does involve more planning, and in some cases isn't possible if you are working with multi-sized wiring harnesses.Between 1/2" and 3/4" Techflex F6 sizes, I covered an entire automotive wiring harness, cutting and zip-tying where needed to cover it mostly with the sleeving. Not only does it look good, it's much easier to handle without worrying about snagging wires.This provides a barrier from the elements. It's breathable, so I wouldn't use it as a heat shield or anything - there are other products which can cover this to protect wires from extreme temperatures.

Looks great! A little heat shrink on the ends!

Delivery was fast. Photo accurately depicts this product - note that some very similar products do not have the split which I wanted because it makes fitting the cables into the sleeve very easy and once "loaded" the sleeve closes on itself by wrapping up on itself with a spring-like action. Velcro or other adhesive not needed. There are many cable management products like this, but I chose this one because it appeared flexible once loaded and I was not disappointed. I use this to combine and control my instrument and microphone cable in a band setting. I'd guess that if it were loaded to the maximum # of cables, making a tight 90 degree turn would cause the split to open at that point, which is what I'd expect from other similar products. Simple cable ties before and after the turn would easily address that.As to the issue of cutting / fraying: Yes, this material does fray when it's cut. That's why the description clearly says a hot knife is recommended. I simply used a match to melt the frayed end - easy, effective, and it looks fine. CAUTION: like all plastics this is flammable, be prepared to blow it out as you would a candle. Also, when you melt the cut end to prevent it from unraveling, you'll want to hold the end of the tube open - no big deal - otherwise you'll melt it in its closed position (see photo).In the end, I'd buy this again to control cables / wires. I think a tan or other neutral color would be a good idea for use in homes where this would be visible. For my application, black is best.

The perfect solution for my wiring mess. I had about 8 wires running across my floor, from small speaker wires to standard Ethernet cable, and it was pretty unsightly. This sheath allowed me to bundle them all together neatly. I'm very happy that it had the split down the side...it would have been a much tougher job if I had to disconnect everything and thread it through the sleeve. I got the half inch diameter size, and while it worked well for me, it was a pretty snug fit. The job probably would have been easier with the 3/8" size, but I like the look of the smaller size. The quarter inch would have never worked for me. It's easy to cut into sections, just be sure to melt the cut ends with a butane lighter so it won't unravel. All in all, a great inexpensive solution to getting rid of an eyesore.
