Wire Loom Introduction

Wire Loom, patch cable wire loom is also called corrugated tubing, wire conduit, split loom, convoluted loom, ribbed tubing, and flexible tubing. In the task of fiber cable management, you may think it easy and just manage some fiber patch cables or install a grommet. But you have to know that the fiber cables can face the danger from intense heat or cold, external impact or ribbing animals and other uncertainty factors. This time you may need wire looms. Wire looms are perfect for organizing cables and managing cords into color-coded bundles that will help keep your electronic equipment in order and prevents equipment failure or fire hazards, they are used in wide-range applications such as electrical wiring in trucks, cars, boats, as well as for use in home entertainment centers, video games, and home and office PC's.

When we talk about wire loom, it generally means the split wire loom. Split wire loom, also known as convoluted tubing, is a flexible polyurethane corrugated tube with a split down the side where you can insert your cable bundle. This cable organizer is very efficient if there's an instance where you have to add another wire subsequently. You can just easily slip it into the split wire loom without having to remove the whole cable or wire bundles.

Types of Wire Loom

There are many types of wire looms used in cable management. The common types are shown as following.

Colored Wire Loom
Colored Wire Loom (shown as the figure below) comes with split loom which offers easy installation, just open the tubing along the slot and insert the wires. It is also highly flexible, resists gas and chemicals, and secures your wires,cables or even small houses. Colored wire loom is an affordable cable organizer and cable protector that are made of polyethylene convoluted tubing. Color wire loom is suitable for use in many industries,such as automotive, computer/electronics, farm/agricultural, marine, recreation vehicles, telecommunications, construction and specialty markets. It is resistant to auto fluids and chemicals andhas an operating temperature range of -40°F to +200°F (-40°C to +93°C). Color wire loom is an ideal way to beautify and protect your wire, cable, or hose applications.

Nylon Split Wire Loom
Nylon Split Wire Loom (shown as the figure below) is an automotive grade convoluted tubing that is lightweight, flexible, easy to use, and provides excellent protection for cables, tubing, hoses and wire harnesses. It's flexible nature allows it to be installed around tight curves without the slit opening up. Nylon split wire loom is manufactured from impact modified, heat stabilized Nylon 6 that provides excellent resistance to high temperatures, making it suitable for automobile engines. Material is 94HB Rated. Operating temperature: -40°F to 300°F (-40°C to 149°C).

Non-Slit Wire Loom

Flame Retardant Polyethylene Wire Loom
Flame Retardant Polyethylene Wire Loom (shown as the figure below) is the ideal solution for applications that require extreme heat resistance along with protection against impact and abrasion. This self-extinguishing flame retardant split loom carries the UL94 V2 flame test rating, which allows it to be utilized in situations where strict flammability codes are required to be met, providing excellent protection for wire harnesses, tubing, hoses and cables. It has an operating temperature range of Operating temperature: -40°F to 200°F (-40°C to 93°C).

Wire Loom Installation Tools

Though split wire loom is great for organizing, it can be difficult on your fingers squeezing those cords into place. As you add more wires, it becomes more of a challenge to put the wires in the tubing. With wire loom installation tools you gather the cords then easily slide them through the tubing.

Wire loom tee fitting includes wire loom T-connectors secures odd-angled tubing and wires. It is widely used in automotive, construction, and industry. Wire loom tee size corresponds to an inner diameter of wire loom. This tool is great for inserting wires into wire loom, wire harness or even woven wrap around sleeve. It's easy to use and will expedite the insertion of wires into the loom.
