To
find the correct size of braided sleeving for your application, begin
by measuring the diameter of the cable bundle you'll be covering.
Depending on how you want the braided sleeving to fit around the cables, you can select a size in one of two ways.
If you're aiming for a snug fit, opt for braided sleeving with a diameter that's slightly smaller than that of your cables.
If a loose, flexible fit is what you're after, select sleeving with a diameter that is equal to or slightly larger than the diameter of your cables.
Whatever you choose, please take into account that braided sleeving
shortens a bit when it expands…be sure to calculate accordingly!
