Overview

The ABB S500FD-0 Flame-Retardant Braided Wire Sleeving (SKU: S500FD-0) is a PET-based expandable protective solution designed for industrial wire management. This sleeving features a nominal inner diameter of 12.7mm (0.50 inches) with an expandable range accommodating wire bundles from 6.35mm (0.25 inches) to 19.05mm (0.75 inches). The black braided construction with a white tracer ensures clear identification during installation and maintenance. Supplied in a 152.4m (500-foot) bulk reel, this sleeving provides continuous abrasion protection for wires, cables, and tubing in demanding environments. Key specifications include a wall thickness of 0.025 inches, a maximum operating temperature of 257°F (125°C), and compliance with UL 1441 VW-1 flammability standards (UL E116868, CSA 227630). The sleeving is rated for use in passenger rail applications meeting U.S. and European standards, making it ideal for transportation, industrial machinery, automotive, and aerospace applications. Its PET material resists fraying when cut with scissors and provides superior chemical and environmental resistance. The expandable design allows for easy post-installation access, cable breakouts, and modifications without removing existing sleeving. This reduces downtime during maintenance and upgrades. The flame-retardant properties ensure critical safety in high-temperature or fire-risk environments. With a reel packaging that may contain splices (contact ABB for details), the S500FD-0 offers a cost-effective, long-lasting solution for large-scale wiring projects requiring reliable protection and compliance.
