From the brand
Strong metal fibers made from tinned copper create our Metal Braided Sleeving that can be used in automotive applications to dress-up engines, hose support or wire protection.
The properties of Tinned Copper Metal Braided Sleeving not only protects against cuts and abrasion, but also EMI, RFI and ESD.
SIZE: 1/2″ (Flat) / 0.32″ (Diameter) | Length: 10 Feet | Monofilament Thickness: 0.12mm
SPECIFICATIONS: RoHS Compliant | Melt Point: 1084°C (1983°F) | VW-1 Rating | Working Range: -60°C to 200°C (-76°F to 392°F)
TINNED COPPER MATERIAL: Protects against EMI, RFI, and ESD by providing shielding, in addition to protection against cuts and abrasion. Ideal for grounding and electromagnetic noise reduction
FLEXIBLE AND EXPANDABLE: Expandable braid allows for installation over slightly larger connectors and provides great flexibility around engines and components
USED IN MANY APPLICATIONS: Used in automotive and industrial applications for use to dress up engines, provide hose and cable support, dissipate heat, and provide protection against radio frequencies and electromagnetic noise

Good product
Added a heaters to my IR Sauna and wanted to be sure I addressed any potential concerns with RF or EF that the heater wiring may add. Installed easily and since it’s basically braided metal you’ll need something more that basic scissors to cut.

10 outta 10 would buy again
Great stuff. Worked perfectly for what I needed it for and that was for shielding audio cables that I have been making. The only complaint I had and it’s really not a complaint. It was just trying to handle carefully and figuring out the best way to get the wires through without poking a hole. I ended up using a ball point pen to leed the way though and at the same time stretched it out for easy install. I got the 1/8in size and it stretched out to about 3/8in. 10 outta 10 would buy again.

Well made
Used for DYI audiophile power cords as drain wire. Worked perfectly.

Functions great but very difficult to install long wire runs
This ended up being exactly what I needed for my project car. I had to extend some wires to my Mass Air Flow Sensor, and on my car (Subaru STI) one of these wires is shielded. I used this product to extend the shielding from where the OEM wire was cut, over the non-shielded wire that I extended to the plug. My car was not working prior to installing this, and worked great afterwards! I did have some difficulty getting this very tiny sleeve to expand in some places that it had obviously been crushed, either during manufacturing or during shipping, so -1 star for that. Overall it was difficult to get over two feet of this shielding to slide down the wire because its so small and delicate. I was also surprised at the 1/8″ rating, i’m not sure where that comes from, but this came out of the package smaller diameter than the prong of a fork and expanded to about 1/2″

Good Baided Wire Sleeve Protection
I used this to protect a wire from squirrels and other rodents from eating a CAT 6 wire for my security camera.The sleeve was easy to use and is a good value for the length needed.

Would be 5 stars except…
This was exactly what we needed. Sleeved over a bundle a wire pretty easily. Unfortunately it was not actually 50ft. So if you need small sections, you’re set. If you needed all 50ft… cross your fingers I guess.

Worked to stop an electrical whine in my car stereo
I had a persistent whine in my speakers after installing a new stereo in my car. I tried everything to solve it, and finally decided to try this shielding. Running the power line inside the shielding was not super easy, but I found if you push the shielding together, it would expand and that made it much easier. Once I had the power line covered, I grounded one end of the shielding to the same ground as the stereo head unit. This solved the whine issue!

We own a farm house which we renovated several years ago. We installed a very expensive shower stall with multiple showers. Then we discovered we had a rat problem. This issue was resolved. However the new shower that had tygon tubing running to the various shower jets was chewed up very badly. We wanted to prevent this from happening again. So we did our research and discovered the 1” tinned copper sleeves on Amazon. To our surprise this metallic sleeve actually fit over the 3/4” tygon tubing and provided a sturdy barrier against rat teeth. We haven’t seen or heard anymore rats however we wanted a protective measure against this happening again. Result:So far so good!

Made up some Les Paul wiring looms with this and 24AWG silicone covered wire. Brilliant. Also arrived quickly and is as described.

I installed this on my Mega 360 and 2D transducer cabling as I was getting bad interference from my Minn Kota Ultrex trolling motor. This kit was long enough to sleeve 3 cables along trolling motor cable and large enough diameter to fit over the Mega 360 transducer connection.
