The Helavia A 2 yellow protective sleeve from Ses-Sterling is a flexible cable protection tube made of polychloroprene, designed for use in installations where mechanical protection for cables and lines is required. The sleeve is supplied in a packaging length of 100 meters and is characterised by its yellow colour, making it highly visible in technical installations. It is specifically designed for use in areas where cables must be protected against mechanical influences such as pressure, friction or light impact loads.
Protective sleeve
The Helavia A 2 is an elastic protective sleeve made of polychloroprene, a synthetic rubber known for its resistance to weathering, oil and chemical substances. The yellow colour serves as a visual identifier and facilitates recognition in the installation environment. The sleeve is designed for an inner diameter range of 3 to 6 mm, making it suitable for a wide variety of cables and lines used in electrical and IT installations.
Applications
The protective sleeve is particularly suitable for use in industrial and commercial facilities where cables and lines must be protected against mechanical damage. It is frequently used in electrical installations, for routing control lines, data cables or signal transmission lines. Typical applications include indoor use and areas with low to medium mechanical stress. The yellow colour supports visual inspection and compliance with safety regulations.
Functions and equipment in detail
The sleeve provides a flexible yet stable protective sheath that can be easily placed over cables, ensuring durable mechanical protection. The polychloroprene material composition ensures high resistance to UV radiation, ozone and atmospheric influences. Inner diameters of 3 to 6 mm allow use with various cable cross-sections, with the elastic structure ensuring a secure fit. The packaging length of 100 meters offers high cost-efficiency for larger installations.
Technology explained simply
Polychloroprene is a synthetic elastomer with properties similar to natural rubber, but offering higher resistance to chemical and physical influences. The protective sleeve’s elastic structure allows it to conform to the shape of the cable inside without affecting the cable’s electrical or mechanical properties. The yellow colour is not only visually striking but also serves as a designation for specific application areas, such as in safety or control technology.
Compatibility and accessories
The Helavia A 2 yellow is compatible with cables and lines having diameters in the range of 3 to 6 mm. It can be used in combination with other protection systems, such as cable glands or protective conduits, to create an additional protective layer. Use in conjunction with cable trees or in cable ducts is also possible, with the elastic structure enabling easy installation.
Installation and mounting
Installation is carried out by simply sliding the sleeve over the cable to be protected. Due to the material’s elastic properties, the sleeve can be easily stretched and adjusted, ensuring a secure and tight covering of the cable. No additional tools or adhesives are required for installation. The packaging length of 100 meters allows efficient routing over long distances without frequent connection points.
Advantages in operation
The protective sleeve provides durable mechanical protection for cables and lines, extending the service life of installed lines. The material’s high resistance to environmental influences ensures long-term durability, even in demanding environments. The yellow colour facilitates visual inspection and compliance with safety regulations. The packaging length of 100 meters offers high cost-efficiency for larger projects.
