The Plio-Super 8,0 insulating sleeve from Ses-Sterling is a flexible protective element for electrical wiring and cables in the field of installation technology. It provides mechanical and electrical insulation as well as protection against external influences such as dust, moisture, or mechanical stress. With a nominal Ø of 8.0 mm, it is suitable for cables and wires of medium thickness installed in indoor and outdoor environments. The sleeve is brown in colour, making it inconspicuous yet clearly identifiable in many technical environments.
Insulating sleeve
The Plio-Super 8,0 is a thermoplastic protective sleeve made from an elastic plastic material. It is supplied in a length of 25 metres per package, with a weight of 22 g per metre. The total package weight is 0.55 kg. The material composition allows for flexible installation and adaptation to different cable geometries, making it particularly suitable for use in complex installations.
Applications
The sleeve is intended for use in electrical and electronic installations, particularly in buildings, industrial facilities, or in the field of building automation. It protects cables from mechanical damage, such as abrasion, pressure, or scratching, and provides an additional layer of insulation. The temperature resistance ranges from -20 °C to +90 °C, making it suitable for a wide range of environments, including those with seasonal temperature fluctuations.
Functions and equipment in detail
The protective sleeve features a smooth, closed surface that enables easy installation and routing. It is not self-extinguishing, but offers sufficient mechanical stability to protect cables from external influences. The brown colour serves as a visual identifier and supports identification during the installation process. The length of 25 metres per package allows for efficient processing without frequent package changes.
Technology explained simply
The sleeve is slipped over the cables and serves as a mechanical and electrical protective cover. It is not intended for power supply through the cable itself, but purely as a protective sheath. The thermal resistance of -20 to +90 °C means it can be used in environments with moderate temperature fluctuations without losing its shape or function. The material properties ensure high flexibility, allowing it to easily conform to cable windings or bends.
Compatibility and accessories
The Plio-Super 8,0 is designed for cables with a diameter matching the nominal Ø of 8.0 mm. It can be used in combination with other protective sleeve systems or cable glands to create a comprehensive protective layer.
Installation and mounting
Installation is carried out by simply sliding the sleeve over the cables to be protected. No special tools are required, as the material's flexibility allows for manual installation. Routing typically follows cable paths, and the 25-metre length per roll supports continuous processing. Installation is usually performed without additional adhesives or fasteners, as the sleeve remains in place on the cables due to its shape stability.
Operational advantages
Using the Plio-Super 8,0 reduces the risk of cable damage from external influences. The easy handling and long delivery length increase installation efficiency. The temperature resistance ensures reliable performance across a wide operating range, making it suitable for various applications. The brown colour supports visual inspection and identification during the installation process.
