Folks,



I am going to use some mesh sleeving to protect some coax in a couple of places. Do I need to do anything to the ends of the mesh sleeving after cutting it? Do I have to worry about it unraveling or anything?

Thanks,

    -- Art Z.

Art,

 

A piece of shrink sleeving on each end works well.

I'm using some TechFlex brand in two different varieties; one says it's 'fray resistant' when cut with scissors and the other recommends hot knife cutting to fuse the ends. (Both are better if the ends are melted slightly.)

The use instructions with your product should tell you if it's required, but playing with a sample is the best way to know.

Thanks, Charlie and Roger. I don't know the exact model number. I bought 15 feet of the stuff from the local electronics supply emporium. I played a bit and found that a quick pass through the gas stove flame keeps the end from fraying and still allows the opening to expand/contract.

Cheers,

The way I do it is that I cut it with the mesh over a piece of pipe about the same diameter as the final size. This isn't critical, but it's way I do it.  Then I use an old soldering iron to melt through the mesh.  



Won't unravel and it will still expand and contract.
