Cold Shrink Tape, TubingCold shrink tape and tubing are products that are used to protect and insulate electrical cables and wires. Cold shrink tape is a type of tape that is made of a stretchable, rubber-like material. It is applied to a cable or wire by stretching it over the cable, then releasing it so that it contracts and shrinks tightly around the cable. Cold shrink tubing is similar to cold shrink tape, but it is in the form of a tube instead of a strip. It is applied to a cable or wire by sliding it over the cable, then allowing it to shrink and form a tight fit around the cable. Both cold shrink tape and tubing are used to provide insulation, strain relief, and environmental protection for cables and wires. They are particularly useful in situations where it is difficult or impossible to use heat-shrinkable products, such as in wet or cold environments.
