Why Choose the Partex SUP12BLACK Supaflex Braided Sleeving?
The Partex SUP12BLACK is a flexible and durable black expandable polyester braided sleeving designed to protect, organise and secure electrical cables, wiring harnesses and hoses in industrial and commercial installations. As part of the Partex Supaflex braided cable sleeving series, it provides an effective cable management solution for control panels, industrial machinery, automation systems and electrical equipment.
Manufactured from high-quality polyester, the Supaflex sleeving features an expandable woven construction that adapts to different cable bundle diameters while providing protection against abrasion and mechanical wear. Its open braided structure allows individual wires to branch out along the cable assembly, making it particularly useful for complex wiring harnesses and electrical installations.
With a 12 mm nominal diameter and an expandable diameter range specified for this product as 10–18 mm, the SUP12BLACK accommodates a variety of cable bundles and wiring configurations. The Supaflex series offers a -55 °C to +150 °C operating temperature range, low-smoke zero-halogen construction and excellent resistance to ultraviolet exposure, making it suitable for demanding indoor and outdoor applications.

Reliable Cable Protection for Industrial Wiring and Automation
Expandable braided sleeving such as the Partex SUP12BLACK provides an effective method of protecting and organising cables without restricting their flexibility. The polyester braid expands to accommodate cable bundles and contracts around them, helping maintain a tidy installation while reducing exposure to abrasion and mechanical wear.
The Supaflex series is particularly suitable for electrical control panels, machine wiring and industrial automation systems where cables may need to branch out at different points along a wiring harness. Its low-smoke, zero-halogen construction, UV stability and wide operating temperature range make it a versatile cable protection solution for industrial and commercial electrical installations. For best results, the sleeving should be cut using a hot knife or soldering iron to seal the polyester fibres and prevent fraying.
