Cabac HEATSHRINK THIN WALL 12.7MM RED 5M BOX XLP13RD-5M

Description

Electrical Insulation & Protection

This CABAC XLP thin wall heat shrink tubing delivers reliable insulation, mechanical protection, and colour coding for electrical conductors in demanding trade environments. Manufactured from electron beam cross-linked polyolefin, it provides a tight, durable protective layer that shrinks evenly when heat is applied.

Ideal for bundling, terminating, and safeguarding cables, it enhances safety while maintaining flexibility for easy installation in confined spaces. It is widely used by licensed electricians for professional-grade cable management in both maintenance and new installation projects. The red colour assists with phase identification and circuit differentiation in complex electrical systems.

Electrical Performance & Compliance

This tubing offers excellent electrical performance with flame retardant properties and resistance to abrasion, solvents, and common industrial fluids. It operates reliably across a wide temperature range, ensuring consistent insulation in harsh environments. The material is UL certified and complies with ASTM standards, making it suitable for professional electrical installations requiring safety and regulatory compliance. UV resistance ensures long-term durability even in exposed or outdoor applications where environmental conditions are severe.

It maintains high dielectric strength and dependable insulation performance at voltages up to 600V. Its cross-linked structure improves impact resistance, helping prevent cracking during installation and long-term use in demanding environments.

Trade Applications & Colour Coding

Designed for trade professionals, this red heat shrink tubing is ideal for colour coding conductors, identifying circuits, and improving wiring organisation. Its flexible construction allows quick application using a heat gun, shrinking to form a secure, snug fit.

Suitable for residential, commercial, and industrial electrical work, it supports efficient and safe installations. It shrinks to approximately 50% of its original diameter, ensuring a tight and uniform seal over connectors and splices. Recommended installation can be achieved using a CABAC heat gun for consistent and controlled shrink performance. It is suitable for both retrofit work and new build electrical installations requiring durable insulation. Trusted on site.
