OEX ACX1101 30M Convoluted Split Tubing - ID: 7mm OD: 10.4mm

OEX ACX1101 Split Convoluted Tubing 7mm Internal Diameter 30m Roll Corrugated Polypropylene UL HB/V2

The OEX ACX1101 is a split convoluted tubing sleeve in 7mm internal diameter, supplied in a 30m length. Constructed from corrugated polypropylene with a UL flammability rating of HB or V2, the split design allows cables to be inserted from the side without threading. Rated for continuous operation from -20°C to +90°C with a maximum peak temperature of 120°C. At 7mm ID and 10.4mm OD, it suits a range of individual cables and small wire bundles. Covered by a one year warranty.

Product overview

The ACX1101 is the workshop-length 30m roll version of the OEX 7mm split convoluted tubing, suited to single-vehicle installations and workshop jobs where the 400m trade-volume ACX1100/400 roll is more than required. The corrugated polypropylene construction provides flexibility for routing around bends while maintaining abrasion and chafing protection. The split design allows cables to be pressed in from the side along the lengthwise opening, making it practical for retrofitting protection to installed harnesses and organising loose cable runs without disconnecting connectors.

The UL flammability rating of HB or V2 confirms a tested level of flame resistance suited to general automotive wiring protection use. The operating range of -20°C to +90°C continuous with a 120°C maximum peak temperature covers the wide temperature swings typical of Australian automotive environments, from cold-start mornings to sustained underbonnet heat. The 30m roll suits workshop jobs and single-vehicle installations across automotive, 4WD, caravan, trailer and marine wiring applications.

Features and benefits

Split design for retrofit installation: Cables snap in from the side without threading, allowing the tubing to be added to existing wiring runs without disconnecting connectors or rerouting cables.

Corrugated polypropylene construction: Flexible and resistant to abrasion and chafing, suited to routing through bends and tight spaces in automotive and marine wiring installations.

UL flammability rating HB or V2: Tested flame resistance confirming the material meets automotive wiring protection standards for general use applications.

7mm internal diameter and 10.4mm outside diameter: Suits a range of individual cables and small wire bundles up to 7mm maximum diameter.

-20°C to +90°C continuous operating range: Covers automotive, underbonnet and cold-climate applications across the operating temperature range typical of Australian conditions.

120°C maximum peak temperature: Provides a safety margin above the continuous rating for short-duration heat exposure.

30m roll: Workshop-friendly length for single-vehicle and multi-circuit jobs without the bulk of the 400m trade roll.

One year warranty: Covered by a one year OEX warranty.

Technical specs

Frequently asked questions

What is split convoluted tubing? Split convoluted tubing is a flexible ribbed sleeving with a lengthwise split along one side. Cables can be pressed into the split opening rather than threaded through from the end, making it easy to add protection to existing wiring without disconnecting anything. The corrugated construction gives it flexibility and abrasion resistance.

What does the UL HB or V2 flammability rating mean? UL flammability ratings indicate how a material behaves when exposed to flame. HB is the base horizontal burn rating, indicating the material burns slowly or self-extinguishes. V2 indicates the material self-extinguishes within 30 seconds of a vertical flame test, though it may drip flaming particles. Both ratings confirm a level of flame resistance suitable for general automotive wiring protection.

How does the ACX1101 compare to the ACX1100/400? Both are 7mm split convoluted tubing with the same internal diameter and outside diameter. The ACX1100/400 is manufactured from fire retardant polypropylene and supplied on a 400m high-volume trade roll. The ACX1101 is manufactured from corrugated polypropylene with a UL HB or V2 flammability rating and is supplied on a 30m workshop roll. Select the ACX1101 for single-vehicle jobs and the ACX1100/400 for high-volume trade use.

Is this tubing suitable for underbonnet use? Yes. The -20°C to +90°C continuous operating range and 120°C maximum peak temperature make it suitable for most automotive underbonnet environments. For areas with sustained extreme heat exposure, verify the ambient temperature against the tubing rating before use.

How do I cut split convoluted tubing to length? Split convoluted tubing can be cut with scissors, side cutters or a sharp blade. Cut between the ribs rather than through them for a cleaner end.
