The Plio-Super 1.5 orange insulating sleeve from Ses-Sterling is a flexible protective element for electrical wiring and cables, primarily used in electrical installations and industrial applications. It provides mechanical and thermal protection for cables and wires, shielding them from external influences such as friction, pressure, moisture, or mechanical damage. The sleeve is available in orange and is supplied in a packaging length of 50 meters, making it suitable for larger installations.
Insulating sleeve
The Plio-Super 1.5 is a thermoplastic insulating sleeve made from polypropylene (PP) or a similar plastic. It features high flexibility and resistance to mechanical stress. The designation 1.5 refers to the inner diameter of the sleeve, which measures 1.5 mm. This diameter allows for the insertion of cables or wires with a corresponding cross-section, and the sleeve can be easily slid over the wire. The orange color serves as a visual identifier, facilitating recognition within the installation network.
Applications
The sleeve is used in electrical installations, machine building, manufacturing technology, and automation technology. It is suitable for indoor use and environments with moderate mechanical loads. Due to its thermal resistance, it can be used in systems where temperatures range from -20 °C to +90 °C. The operating temperature range is crucial for selecting the appropriate protective element to ensure long-term functionality and safety.
Functions and equipment in detail
The insulating sleeve provides a mechanical protective layer that shields cables from abrasion, pressure, and mechanical stress. It is not self-extinguishing, but it exhibits high resistance to moisture and chemical influences. The packaging length of 50 meters enables efficient processing in larger projects, with handling facilitated by the material's flexibility. The weight is 3.11 grams per meter, indicating a lightweight yet stable construction.
Technology explained simply
The sleeve is slid over the wire to be protected and functions as a passive protective layer. It is not designed for electrical insulation in the sense of voltage conduction, but for mechanical protection. The material composition ensures high flexibility and resistance to mechanical stress. The orange color is a visual marker used in electrical installations to distinguish this cable from other wires or protective sleeves.
Compatibility and accessories
The sleeve is suitable for cables and wires with a diameter of up to 1.5 mm. It can be used in combination with other protective systems such as cable glands, ferrules, or protective conduits to create a comprehensive protection solution. Its use in conjunction with other products from the protection > insulating sleeve and ferrules product group is possible, with the exact selection tailored to the specific requirements of the installation.
Installation and mounting
Mounting is achieved by simply sliding the sleeve over the wire to be protected. The material's flexibility allows for easy handling, even in tight or hard-to-reach areas. No special tools are required, as the sleeve can be processed by hand. Installation typically does not require additional adhesives or fasteners, as the sleeve remains in place due to its shape and material strength.
Advantages in operation
Using the Plio-Super 1.5 orange provides a reliable mechanical protective layer for cables and wires. The high flexibility and low weight simplify handling, while thermal resistance ensures safe operation within a temperature range of -20 °C to +90 °C. The orange color supports visual identification in the installation network, simplifying maintenance and fault diagnosis. The packaging length of 50 meters enables cost-effective use in larger projects.
