The Fränkische Co-flex-PA NW 23 black 50m is a flexible, slotted corrugated tube made of polyamide 6, used as a protective sleeve for cables and lines in industrial and private applications. It provides retrofitted protection for cables in areas such as computer installations, TV cabinets, enclosure construction, automotive installations, and the electrical appliance industry. The corrugated tube is available in black and features high temperature resistance as well as protection against rodent and gnawing animal damage. The slotted construction allows for easy installation around already installed lines, where the inner tube is filled with cables and then the outer tube is slipped over to close the slits.

Applications
Co-flex-PA 6 is used in various industries where a flexible yet robust cable protection solution is required. It is particularly suitable for use in enclosures, protecting cables from mechanical damage, moisture, and animal bites. In the automotive industry, it is used for protecting lines within vehicles. In private applications, such as at computers or in TV cabinets, it offers a neat and secure cabling solution that is also visually unobtrusive.

Functions and Equipment in Detail
The slotted corrugated tube consists of two parts: an inner tube, which is filled with cables, and an outer tube, which closes the slits. This construction allows for easy and quick installation without additional tools. The material polyamide 6 is halogen-free and non-flame-propagating, increasing safety during use. The temperature resistance ranges from -40 °C to +120 °C according to LV312-3, with short-term exposure up to +150 °C. According to DIN EN 61386-22 (VDE 0605-23), the range is -45 °C to +120 °C. Flammability complies with standards UL 94 V2 and FMVSS 302.

Technology Explained Simply
Polyamide 6 (PA 6) is a thermoplastic material known for its high strength, heat resistance, and chemical resistance. The slotted design of the corrugated tube allows it to be opened, cables inserted, and then closed again—without damaging the lines. The non-flame-propagating property means the material does not burn independently when exposed to open flame and does not spread fire. The halogen-free composition reduces the formation of toxic smoke gases in case of fire.

Compatibility and Accessories
For secure mounting of the corrugated tube to devices or structures, the accessory Fränkische COS Type 23 black mounting clamp 49120230 is available. This clamp allows for firm and secure installation of the protective sleeve on various surfaces. The mounting clamp is specifically designed for Co-flex-PA NW 23 and ensures stable anchoring.

Installation and Mounting
Installation is carried out in three simple steps: first, the corrugated tube is opened along the slits. Then, the inner tube is filled with the cables to be protected. Finally, the outer tube is slipped over, closing the slits. Installation requires no tools and is therefore also easy for non-specialist users. The flexible structure of the corrugated tube allows adaptation to different geometries and bends.

Operational Advantages
Co-flex-PA 6 offers high protection for cables against mechanical stress, moisture, animal bites, and high temperatures. The high-temperature resistance makes it suitable for applications where high thermal loads occur. The non-flame-propagating and halogen-free properties increase safety in case of fire. Easy installation and maintenance reduce labor and operating costs. Its use in various industries demonstrates the universal applicability of the product.
