UGREEN PE Spiral Cable Management Sleeve, 5 m (30820)

Overview

Loose cables under a desk, behind a TV or along a wall can be gathered into one neat run that still lets individual leads branch out where they are needed. This UGREEN spiral cable management sleeve is a 5 m length of black polyethylene (PE) with a nominal 25 mm diameter. It wraps around a group of cables, can be cut to length, and reopens whenever a cable is added or removed.

Is it right for you?

• Suits indoor desk, TV, computer and workstation cables: data, video, audio and charging leads can share the run when their makers’ instructions allow it.
• The group must fit the nominal 25 mm sleeve without forcing. Capacity depends on the cables’ actual outside diameters and stiffness.
• Mains power leads need extra care: keep them uncoiled, ventilated, undamaged and within every cable and device rating, and leave power adapters, couplers and ventilation openings outside the sleeve.
• Not for hot machinery, exposed outdoor runs, wet areas, damaged insulation or routes that need certified conduit, and not a substitute for a floor cable cover where people walk.

Key features

• 5 m continuous length that can be cut into shorter sections for one or several runs.
• Open spiral, so leads can enter or exit between the turns at any point along the run.
• Reopens for additions or removals without cutting anything.
• Flexible PE that gives cables a light outer layer against routine rubbing; it does not change any cable’s rating.
• Comes with a small applicator that helps feed a prepared cable group into the spiral.

What else you need

Scissors to cut the sleeve to length. Where a run crosses a floor, a separate floor cable protector.

Installation

Gather the cables, cut the sleeve to the planned length before fitting, and wind it around the group, using the applicator to feed the cables in. Keep scissors and the cut ends away from live cables, eyes, children and pets.

Before you buy

• 25 mm is the nominal sleeve diameter. The 78.5 mm figure is the matching circumference, not the bundle diameter or capacity.
• Bundling changes how cables shed heat. Follow the cable and equipment makers’ instructions, especially for mains and high-current charging leads.
• It provides no electrical insulation, grounding, surge protection, shielding, fire rating, waterproofing or dust sealing, and it does not make cables chew-proof, child-proof or pet-proof. A damaged, pinched or overheating cable must be disconnected and replaced, not covered.
• It does not replace strain relief, bend-radius control or a floor cable protector.
