How can I protect my wires and cables from extreme heat?

High Temperature Braided Sleeving

The lives of cables, wires and hoses can be greatly extended with high temperature braided sleeving. Braided sleeving is a protective cover for the vulnerable material on common wires. High temperatures can cause cracks, frays or fires without braided sleeving, especially in wires and cables that are used in industrial settings or exposed to outdoor elements. In addition to protecting the wires from high temperatures, braided sleeving can shield wires and cables from abrasions, chemicals, dirt, and even freezing temperatures.
