The Plio-Super 4,0 red insulating sleeve from Ses-Sterling is a flexible protective element for electrical wiring and cables, used in installation technology. It provides mechanical and electrical insulation as well as protection against external influences such as dust, moisture, or mechanical stress. The sleeve is available in the colour red and is supplied in a packaging length of 50 metres. It is specifically designed for use in electrical installations where reliable insulation and protective function are required.
Insulating sleeve
The Plio-Super 4,0 is a thermoplastic insulating sleeve made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC). It is characterised by high flexibility and good workability, making it suitable for use in confined spaces or complex installation situations. The red colour serves as a visual identifier and facilitates recognition within the installation network. The sleeve wall is uniformly constructed to ensure consistent insulation performance.
Applications
The sleeve is used in electrical installation, building technology, and industrial plant construction. It is particularly suitable for protecting cables and wiring in indoor environments where mechanical and electrical insulation is required. The operating temperature range is between -20 °C and +90 °C, making it usable in a wide range of environmental conditions. The temperature resistance allows use in rooms with moderate temperature fluctuations, such as residential and office buildings, as well as in industrial environments with low heat load.
Functions and equipment in detail
The insulating sleeve provides reliable electrical insulation, minimising the risk of short circuits or contact voltages. It protects the installed wiring from mechanical damage, such as pressure, friction, or bending stress. The flexible structure allows for easy handling, even in tight bends or complex installation scenarios. The red colour supports visual differentiation from other wiring, which is helpful during maintenance and inspection.
Technology explained simply
The sleeve is made from a thermoplastic material that can be deformed when heated and retains its shape when cooled. This enables easy installation by sliding the sleeve over the wire and then fixing it using heat or mechanical pressure. The material composition ensures high electrical insulation capability, preventing the conduction of electric currents. The temperature resistance from -20 to +90 °C ensures stable performance under normal operating conditions. The weight specification of 9.15 g per metre indicates the low mass of the material, which facilitates handling.
Compatibility and accessories
The insulating sleeve Plio-Super 4,0 is designed for use with electrical wires and cables used in electrical installations. It is not specifically intended for particular cable types, but can be universally applied to various cable diameters, provided the bending radius requirements are met.
Installation and mounting
Mounting is done by sliding the sleeve over the wire to be protected. If necessary, the sleeve can be fixed using heat (e.g. with a heat blower) or mechanical pressure to ensure secure fastening. Processing is best done at room temperature to take advantage of the material's flexibility. The packaging length of 50 metres enables efficient processing without frequent cutting and joining operations.
Advantages in operation
The sleeve provides durable protection for electrical wiring, extending cable lifespan and increasing safety. The easy handling and low weight facilitate installation, especially in larger projects. The red colour supports identification and maintenance of the installation. The temperature resistance ensures reliable performance in a wide range of environments.
