Choosing The Correct Tubes

The tube length and diameter should be chosen based on the size and length of the cable bundle you are working with. Since the unsleeved cable bundle will pass through this tube, the tube’s diameter will limit your cable bundle size. So, if you get the 1" diameter tube, your cable bundles will need to be 1" in diameter or less. The 3 foot tubes are designed for cable bundles of up to 50 feet. The 6 foot tubes are designed for cable bundles of up to 100 feet. Actual lengths achieved may far surpass these limits, depending on the selection of sleeving and actual bundle size. Each different tube can be used with a range of expandable sleeving sizes as show here:

  • 1/2" diameter tube will accommodate 1/2" to 3/4" expandable sleeving
  • 1" diameter tube will accommodate 3/4" to 1-1/2" expandable sleeving
  • 1-1/2" diameter tube will accommodate 1-1/4" to 1-3/4" expandable sleeving
