Wire conduits, cable protection, sleeving and tubing for your application

Cable conduits: metallic, PVC, flexible

Cable protection systems and accessories for every demand

Cable protection braided sleeving Helagaine HLB

No cable can meet the demands posed today in terms of abrasion resistance, tensile strength and form consistency or impact resistance without having appropriate cable protection. Wire conduits have to meet these demands and also provide protection against dirt and dampness or resistance against extreme temperature loads

From excellent flexibility, to high flame-retardant properties to exceptional mechanical protection, thick-walled or thin-walled, HellermannTyton guarantees the highest quality and safety in all cable protection areas. Wherever cable protection is needed, there are unique requirements. Whilst cable protection in plant and machinery construction requires high levels of mechanical impact resistance and abrasion resistance, a wire conduit or braided sleeving used in public buildings or in rolling-stock must meet the highest fire safety standards.

In addition to the outstanding material properties of the flexible cable protection conduits from HellermannTyton, customers  also benefit from  system solutions. For each metallic or non-metallic cable conduit in the HelaGuard series, there are a number of accessories available, for example: 

  • Locknuts
  • Endcaps
  • Clamps
  • Sealing washers 

Whether construction or retrofitting, for example with braided sleeves that can be re-opened or closed, find the right cable protection solution for your application now.

Cable protection tailored to your application!

The requirements in the field of cable protection are becoming increasingly complex. Wire conduits need a lot of features to protect cable bundles optimally under diverse conditions, e.g.:

  • Flexibility
  • High resistance to corrosion
  • High resistance against to and UV radiation
  • Flame-resistant and self-extinguishing
