FIT® Wire Management
Better wire management means better harnesses
B
ringing order to wire
harnesses and cable routing
means a system that is more
reliable, easier to fabricate, and
simpler to maintain. Our woven
sleeves are tough and flexible. For
additional resistance to chemicals,
oils, and solvents, our flexible tubing
offers exceptional performance
and operates at temperatures as
high as 260°C. Our braided shields
are effective and easy to use for
additional EMI protection or a
ground connection.
Neatness counts
As a leader in premium products,
Alpha Wire knows wire and cable.
And we know the challenges you
face in creating harnesses, routing,
and combating noise. Our FIT
wire management products are
designed to tame the most
unruly applications.
Harnessing
Make any wire harness organized,
manageable, and neat with our
tubing, sleeving, spiral wrap tubing,
zipper tubing, and lacing tape.
Our unique ZIP-GRP expandable,
enclosure sleeving allows easy
re-entry and unlimited wire and
cable break outs with its hook and
loop fastener system.
Shielding
Add shielding easily and quickly.
We offer flat, round, and oval
braided shielding for additional
protection against EMI and for
grounding protection. Our copper
foil shielding tape is backed with
a highly conductive, pressure-
sensitive adhesive for use in a
wide variety of EMI/RFI shielding
applications in cable and
connector assemblies.
Routing
Get the advantages of conduit in
a flexible non-metallic, liquid-tight
tubing and connection system
that protects wire, copper cable,
and fiber-optic cable in factories,
offices, or underground installations.
Use our watertight tubing to
replace rigid raceways where
flexibility, re-entry, or re-usability is
required. Additionally, Alpha offers
split looms to provide a convenient
solution for your routing needs.

PVC-105
PVC tubing is the workhorse
choice for protecting, organizing,
and routing cables.
Convoluted Slit Loom Tubing
and Tee Connector Fittings
Type 492 Tubing
Type 493 Fittings
Flexible polyethylene loom material
permits fast, easy installations and
protection of harness and cable
assemblies. The loom is slit full
length so that it slides over the
completed wire assembly easily, but
closes after installation to protect
the wire bundle. The slit allows for
the wires to break out at any point
along the cable length for custom
installation. Companion snap-on
connectors provide simple, clean
cable junctions.
Zipper Tubing™
ZIP-41
Protect wire, cables, and harnesses.
Alpha Zipper Tubing provides a
professional finish to wiring
installations by eliminating exposed
wiring and providing added
protection against flame, chemicals,
and abrasion. With Zipper Tubing,
it’s possible to isolate any group
of wires or cables quickly and
easily, without the bother of tape
wrapping. Zipper Tubing is an
ideal jacketing material for use in
harsh environments for production
or repair of harness assemblies.
Each package contains two
plastic sliders.
Flexible Liquid-Tight PVC
Tubing and Nylon Connectors
FNT Tubing
SLC and RLC Connectors
FNT PVC tubing system of wire
management products for
electronic and electrical wire
protection provides maximum
flexibility and can be used in
extremely tight quarters. The tubing
is excellent for general applications
where maximum flexibility is
required or in areas where
movement, vibration, or flexing is
a problem.

Flexible PTFE Tubing
TFT-200 Thin-Wall Tubing
TFT-250 Standard-Wall Tubing
To improve the reliability of cable
harnesses, PTFE tubing provides
a heat and abrasion resistant wire
insulator under the most adverse
conditions. With an unmatched
temperature range, exceptional
abrasion resistance, and excellent
dielectric properties, it maintains
flexibility over its entire
temperature range.
PVC-Coated Fiberglass Sleeving
PIF-130
PIF-130 sleeving is a woven
fiberglass braid impregnated
with a heat-resistant, extremely
tough, abrasion-resistant and
flexible plastic insulation. The
fiberglass is treated to remove
all organic matter and resist
fraying. The sleeving is completely
compatible with all insulation and
conductor types.
Uncoated Fiberglass Sleeving
PIF-240
PIF-240 sleeving is extremely
flexible and abrasion resistant. It
is ideal for applications requiring
operation up to 648°C. It is heat
treated to remove all organic
matter, and it is completely
compatible with all insulation and
conductor types.
CST Series
Acrylic-Coated Fiberglass Sleeving
AF-155
AF-155 is a specially designed
fiberglass sleeving coated with a
thermally stable, flexible, acrylic
resin for wire and cable protection
in electrical equipment. The
most economical and versatile of
all coated sleeving products,
it offers high heat resistance,
extreme flexibility, and resistance
to cracking, abrasion, cut-though,
and chemicals.
Silicone-Coated Fiberglass
Sleeving
PIF-200, SF-200
PIF-200 and SF-200 sleeving
offers high heat and superior
electrical characteristics in a
closely woven, braided fiberglass,
uniformly coated with silicone
rubber. It provides low temperature
flexibility to -70°C and heat
protection to 200°C. The fiberglass
sleeving material is heat-set, cuts
cleanly, and will not fray. It is
easy to “pushback” and form
over components, connections,
and cables.
The pressure-sensitive adhesive
contains a uniform dispersion
of unique oxidation-resistant
conductive particles that produce
very low resistance through
the tape. This feature results
in shielding performance
approximately 5 dB better than
other metal foil shielding tapes.

Self-Fusing Silicone Tape
Where a masking wrap or
permanently resilient insulation
seal is necessary, self-adhering
silicone tape is made of special
unsupported silicone rubber
compound that readily adheres to
itself when wrapped under tension
and fuses to form a homogenous
mass within 24 hours at room
temperature or 4 hours at 177°C.
The self-adhering silicone is
protected with a polyester or
polyethylene liner to prevent
contamination and blocking.
Spiral Wrap Tubing
SW
Spiral wrap tubing simplifies wire
harnessing, cabling, and bundling.
Alpha’s SW tubing wraps tightly to
the wire and cable being bundled,
yet is flexible and simple to apply.
All types maintain flexibility even
when bent around sharp edges.
Breakouts or tapoff connections
may be made through the openings
of the wrap. SW spiral wrap is
constructed from several semirigid
tubing materials and then cut on a
continual spiral.
Expandable Braided Polyester
Sleeving
GRP-110, GRP-120
GRP-110/120 is a lightweight,
expandable woven polyester
sleeving that offers high flexibility
with high resistance to abrasion
and cut-through. The open
weave allows for a great range of
expansion of the sleeving diameter,
thus ensuring ease of installation
and gripping action over a wide
range of shapes and sizes. GRP
sleeving is an ideal protective
sleeve for wire bundles, harnesses,
pneumatic hoses, hydraulic lines,
and highly polished or threaded
machine parts.
To prevent fraying of ends, GRP-110
and GRP-120 should be cut/sealed
with a hot knife.
