How to cut Pattern Braided Sleeve without fraying?

Pattern Braided Sleeve are used in cable management solutions such as protecting and bundling cables. It is easy to install, cost-effective, fits securely around cable bundles, and does its job without significantly changing the weight or diameter of the bundle.

Braided sleeves are designed with an open braid, and since they are not solid but sparsely woven, it is easy to inspect the wires underneath the expandable Pattern Braided Sleeve and even remove the wires individually. They are also highly flexible as needed to conform to the desired shape, allowing the wrapped wires to be conveniently shaped.

Hot knives often appear with expandable Pattern Braided Sleeve. It is a tool consisting of a narrow metal band that is heated to a temperature high enough to melt the polymer filaments of the commonly used expandable Pattern Braided Sleeve. This melting process not only cuts the sleeves to the desired length or size, but also prevents the cut ends from fraying by simply fusing the loose ends together during installation and use. Using a hot knife, you can cut all the expandable Pattern Braided Sleeve in advance and then install the pre-cut lengths when needed, speeding up production without worrying about the product fraying or unraveling.

Generally speaking, a hot knife has one blade attached to both poles of a covered transformer. When the blade is connected to a power source, the resistor causes it to heat up until it reaches a preset temperature.
