TechFlex F6 0.50 inch Split sleeving 25ft

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!

Thie Techflex F6 is easy to use and looks great. I am using it over 1/0 power wire (big 3 upgrade on my truck). I use sharp scissors to cut the F6, it does fray just a little, but Im cleaning up the install with heat shrink to cover where the F6 terminates. I covered up some other cables in the engine bay (unable to use heat shrink) so I used F4 tape on the ends...very clean look.

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.

This is my favorite and most elegant cable wrap solution, and I've tried a few. I have velcro straps that are good for tying your cables to something, I've tried elastics which are the same but will wear out as the rubber dries, I've tried the corrugated plastic, which is okay but the seam is annoying and the size is less negotiable. The techflex however looks great right on your desk, and the seam is invisible. The half inch version would fit five thin cables fairly well, and it's really easy to install. I found the best way to get it wrapped at the wrong end, and slide the wrap up to the correct end, which is easier than trying to get the cables to fall into the seam the entire distance. This works for about a meter of cable length then the resistance gets to be a bit much and you find yourself inchworming it along, which is still probably better than trying to wrap it around the cable all along the distance. The only precaution I would make note of is the tendency for TechFlex to unravel at the end if there is tension for your cables to separate, in which case you will want to melt the ends after you cut it. Make sure you don't melt it while it's tubular though or you won't be able to get your cables inside it.

I used this to bundle up a bunch of video cables and was very pleased with the result. It was easy to stuff the cables inside and once inside, they didn't want to come out. The end result was a bundle of cable that looked like it was professionally made.This tubing is very flexible compared to split loom. It also looks a heck of a lot nicer. I probably wouldn't use it for something that you'll never be moving around or hidden away, but for anything that people are going to be moving around, or will be in plain sight, you might consider this over split loom tubing.

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.
