Panduit SE150N-Q Pan-Wrap™ Braided Expandable Sleeving

Panduit's SE150N-Q Pan-Wrap™ braided expandable sleeving delivers heavy-duty abrasion protection for wire bundles and cable assemblies in demanding commercial installations. The 1.5" nominal diameter nylon 6.6 sleeve expands from 1.25" to 1.75" to accommodate irregular bundle shapes and mid-run transitions, while the open-weave construction prevents heat and moisture buildup that degrades insulation over time. Integrators managing cable runs through mechanical spaces, cable trays with sharp edges, or outdoor conduit transitions rely on this sleeving to extend service life and meet NEC 300.11 support requirements without adding weight or restricting airflow.

Key Features

1.5" nominal ID with 1.25" to 1.75" expansion range accommodates varying bundle diameters and mid-span connectors

Nylon 6.6 braid resists abrasion, cuts, and UV exposure in harsh mechanical and outdoor environments

Open-weave design allows heat dissipation and moisture escape, preventing insulation degradation in high-density tray fills

Lightweight construction (25-foot reel) adds minimal load to cable support structures and simplifies installation

Black color provides professional appearance in exposed runs and maintains consistent aesthetics across mixed-vendor cable assemblies

Self-expanding design simplifies installation over terminated assemblies without requiring disassembly or re-termination

The SE150N-Q uses a tight-weave nylon 6.6 construction that balances abrasion resistance with flexibility. Unlike rigid conduit or solid-wall tubing, the expandable braid conforms to irregular bundle shapes and allows controlled expansion when cables enter or exit mid-run. The 25-foot continuous length minimizes joints and potential snag points in long horizontal or vertical runs. Nylon 6.6's inherent properties—tensile strength retention across temperature extremes, resistance to oils and solvents, and low moisture absorption—make this sleeving suitable for installations where cables pass through mechanical rooms, rooftop pathways, or interstitial spaces with HVAC equipment or chemical exposure.

Typical deployments include protecting PoE+ trunk cables in overhead tray runs where they cross building expansion joints, bundling fiber and copper patch cords behind equipment racks to prevent snags during maintenance, and sleeving outdoor camera cables where they transition from conduit to building entry. The open weave prevents heat buildup in densely packed bundles, allowing convection cooling that solid jackets block. This matters in power-over-Ethernet applications where conductor heating from current flow combines with ambient heat—TIA-568.2-D recognizes derating factors when cables cannot dissipate heat. The sleeving's 1.25" minimum diameter accommodates typical 24-48 strand fiber trunks or bundled Cat6A patch cords, while the 1.75" maximum handles installer-terminated assemblies with bulkier connectors or mid-span splice enclosures.

Pan-Wrap sleeving ships on 25-foot reels in cartons of four, supporting multi-site rollouts or large campus installations without per-project reordering. The black nylon finish resists UV fading in skylight-exposed pathways and provides visual consistency when mixing cable types or vendors in shared tray runs. For integrators managing long-term service contracts, this sleeving reduces callback costs by preventing jacket abrasion failures that create intermittent faults or exposure to environmental contaminants.
