Cable binding

Does anyone know what the cable binding is called thats like a webbing. You can put a load of cables through it like heat shrink, but this looks a bit more professional. I've attached a pic of the closest thing I've found.

Sorry to be so vague, I "think" I've heard it called ringale sleeving, but web searches don't come up with anything ? Rescued attachment wiring.JPG

Split or Convoluted tubing

http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Auto-Performance-Silicone-Hoses_Convoluted-Tubing_W0QQcolZ4QQdirZ1QQfsubZ12112862QQftidZ2QQtZkm

They do mixed diameter packs that are very useful.
I've used them before very products and prices!,

Not sure where in West Yorkshire you are, but if you either ring them or serch their Ebay shop their address is on there and if you speek to them they'll usually let you collect.. makes the prices even better
Its pretty close to Kirkstall Abbey in Leeds alot of their other stuff is resaonable prices as well, Electrical Crimps, Fuel pipe and Clips etc.

The stuff in the photo is simply called "Expandable Braided Polyester Sleeving" by Polevolt (page 8 of their catalogue)

They also sell the more commonly chosen convoluted tube type.

Only thing wrong with it is the frayed ends.
To avoid you need to plan you heatshrink carefully before fitting connectors

The other way of handling it is to use a soldering iron to melt the end and then fold it back in on itself if it needs to look pretty (polo neck style)

The advantage over convoluted tube is it's a lot more flexible.

Oh Premier also sell it linky

I'm sure RS and Farnell will also carry it.

A heatgun works just as well to fuse the ends however the nylon braid stuff obviously cant be used near anything that might get hot as it will melt

Used to use this at a previous job for making up wiring harnesses

Really wouldn't use it in a car. The open weave would soak up oily dirt. I've used it in rack wiring and it's horrible stuff.
