  • Product Description
    GNS® is a tubular braided sleeve manufactured from Nomex® meta-aramid fiber with a silicone rubber coating.

    This non-abrasive and liquid-splash repellent sleeve provides effective protection of wire and cable bundles against vibration and abrasion in the most diverse and aggressive environments.

    Its construction allows the sleeve to be pulled up around 50% of its length to ease the maintenance of the circular connectors.

    This flexible sleeve allows for easy installation over the cable bundles due to its sliding properties and ensures exceptional abrasion resistance even at high temperatures. It is designed for the mechanical protection of wire and cable bundles at very high temperatures and is mainly used in aeronautics and military industries.
