Cold Shrink Tubing

Introduction

Cold shrink tubing comes with a removable plastic core that keeps the tubing stretched to allow the cables to be fitted. It also contains active memory that causes the tube to shrink once the core is removed.

Keep in mind that cold shrink tubing is constantly attempting to return to its original shape. This means that it will expand and shrink around cables as they change size due to changes in temperature or load swings. This makes it a good choice for environments where temperatures are likely to fluctuate considerably. It also possesses excellent weather resistance and does not age when exposed to ultraviolet rays, this means it is a good choice when cables are likely to be exposed to the elements.
