Panduit FT62-C Fiberglass Insulated Tubing

The Panduit FT62-C delivers industrial-grade thermal protection for cable runs in high-temperature environments where standard sleeving fails. This aluminized fiberglass tubing withstands continuous exposure up to 1,200°F (649°C), making it the go-to solution for conduit penetrations near mechanical equipment, above-ceiling runs in manufacturing facilities, and security installations in boiler rooms or industrial process areas. The 0.625-inch inside diameter accommodates bundled low-voltage runs while the braided fiberglass construction conforms to irregular routing paths. Supplied on a 100-foot reel for field-cut installation.

Key Features

1,200°F (649°C) continuous temperature rating for extreme-environment protection

Aluminized fiberglass construction provides radiant heat reflection

0.625" (15.9 mm) nominal inside diameter for multi-cable bundling

100-foot (30.5 m) reel allows custom-length cuts per run requirement

Flexible braided design conforms to irregular cable paths and equipment contours

Continuous abrasion resistance protects wire jackets from sharp metal edges

The reflective aluminized surface provides critical radiant heat protection in installations where cables route near steam pipes, HVAC equipment, or industrial machinery. Unlike polymer-based sleeving that melts or emits toxic fumes under thermal stress, the fiberglass matrix maintains structural integrity across the full temperature range. The braided construction allows lateral expansion for mid-run splices or junction boxes—installers can slide the tubing back along the cable run during termination, then reposition it over the connection. This eliminates the pre-planning headaches of rigid conduit or heat-shrink alternatives.

The 0.625-inch ID provides clearance for typical bundled security runs: three 18/2 plenum power cables plus two Cat6a data cables fit comfortably with room for heat dissipation. For datacenter hot-aisle applications or above-ceiling runs in buildings without adequate return-air plenums, this tubing creates a thermal barrier that keeps cable jacket temperatures within manufacturer spec even when ambient conditions exceed 140°F. The silver finish also provides high visibility during maintenance—flashlight inspection immediately identifies protected runs versus exposed cabling.

Commercial integrators deploy this tubing in three primary scenarios: manufacturing facilities where security cameras monitor production lines near furnaces or welding stations; datacenter/server-room installations where cables route above hot-aisle containment or near CRAC unit exhaust; and retrofit projects in older buildings where the only viable cable path runs through mechanical chases or above commercial kitchen equipment. In each case, the alternative—rerouting through cooler zones or installing metal conduit—adds thousands in labor and materials.

The 100-foot reel format supports efficient field deployment. For a typical manufacturing facility with eight ceiling-mount cameras in high-heat zones, an integrator might use 12-15 feet of tubing per camera run (covering the last 10 feet before the camera plus slack for service loops). The reel supplies enough material for the full site with minimal waste. The fiberglass construction cuts cleanly with standard cable shears—no special tools required.

This product is UL-recognized component material for use in cable assemblies, making it compliant for commercial installations where AHJ inspectors flag cable protection methods during final inspection. For security integrators working in industrial environments, food processing facilities, or any application where cable routing intersects with high-temperature zones, the FT62-C eliminates the "we can't run cables there" conversation with mechanical contractors and building engineers. Panduit backs the product with their standard commercial-grade warranty.
