Panduit SE100TC-L 1 in Tinned Copper Braided Sleeving 50ft

Panduit SE100TC-L Pan-Wrap™ Tinned Copper Braided Expandable Sleeving

Electromagnetic interference and cable abrasion are persistent problems in commercial security and datacenter environments—especially on outdoor camera runs, PoE trunk lines near RF sources, and equipment-grounding applications. The Panduit SE100TC-L delivers MIL-SPEC-grade EMI/RFI/ESD shielding in a 1-inch expandable tinned-copper braid that protects cables from abrasion, provides low-impedance grounding paths, and handles up to 25 amps continuous current. Supplied on a 50-foot reel, this sleeving is designed for integrators running multi-cable bundles through conduit, installing outdoor camera networks in corrosive environments, or meeting shielding requirements on sensitive AV and control-system links.

Key Features

• Tin-plated copper braid construction—corrosion-resistant, low-impedance grounding for EMI/RFI/ESD protection
• 1-inch (25.4 mm) nominal inside diameter, expandable to accommodate cable bundles and connectors
• 25-amp continuous current capacity suitable for PoE+ trunk protection and equipment grounding
• Conforms to CID A-A-59569 (formerly MIL-SPEC QQB-575) for military and commercial shielding applications
• 50-foot (15.2 m) reel—bulk format for large installations and campus deployments
• Continuous abrasion resistance for cables routed through conduit, cable trays, or outdoor enclosures
• Pan-Wrap™ braided design—flexible installation over terminated cables, expands and contracts with bundle movement

The SE100TC-L is constructed from electro-plated tin over copper strands, woven into a flexible braid that expands to slip over cable bundles and contracts around the protected run. Tin plating provides corrosion resistance in outdoor, marine, and high-humidity environments where bare copper would oxidize—critical for camera installations on coastal properties, parking structures, or industrial facilities with chemical exposure. The 1-inch nominal ID accommodates typical PoE camera trunk cables (Cat6A bundles, fiber breakouts, hybrid copper-fiber runs) and expands up to approximately 1.5 inches to pass over RJ45 connectors or fiber SC/LC boots during installation. The braided construction maintains continuous contact with the cable jacket, providing an effective Faraday shield against EMI from nearby AC power lines, RF transmitters, or industrial motor noise, and a low-impedance path to drain ESD events without coupling into signal conductors. At 25 amps continuous capacity, the sleeving also serves as a grounding conductor for equipment racks, UPS battery strings, and DC power distribution—eliminating the need for separate ground wires in many installations.

Common deployment scenarios include outdoor PTZ camera runs where cables enter and exit conduit sweeps (abrasion at entry points causes jacket failures within 18–24 months without protection), PoE trunk cables routed parallel to AC lighting circuits in ceiling plenums (EMI couples into Ethernet pairs, causing intermittent link drops on marginal runs), and datacenter cable trays where fiber and copper bundles are frequently moved during adds/moves/changes (repeated flexing wears through PVC jackets, exposing conductors). The expandable braid installs over pre-terminated cables by pushing the sleeving back to expand the weave, sliding it over the cable length, then releasing tension to let the braid contract around the run—no need to disconnect or re-terminate. For permanent installations, secure the sleeving at both ends with cable ties, heat-shrink, or Panduit strap-and-buckle ties to prevent migration. The 50-foot reel format is ideal for integrators running multiple camera home runs from a central switch closet, protecting battery interconnects on large UPS installations, or sleeving cable bundles in equipment racks where grounding and EMI protection are required by contract specification.

MIL-SPEC CID A-A-59569 compliance ensures the sleeving meets military standards for shielding effectiveness, current capacity, and abrasion resistance—relevant for federal, defense, and critical-infrastructure projects that reference MIL-SPEC materials in contract documents. The tin-plated finish provides long-term corrosion resistance without the cost and weight of stainless-steel braid, making the SE100TC-L the practical choice for commercial security integrators who need MIL-grade protection on outdoor camera networks, grounding continuity on rack installations, and proven EMI shielding on AV and control-system links where interference from co-located RF or power systems has caused field failures on prior jobs.
