OEX ACX1102 Convoluted Split Tubing ID:7mm OD: 10.4mm Length 200m

OEX ACX1102 Fire Retardant Split Convoluted Tubing 7mm Internal Diameter Black 200m Roll

The OEX ACX1102 is a split convoluted tubing sleeve in 7mm internal diameter, supplied in a 200m length in black. Manufactured from fire retardant polypropylene, the split design allows cables to be inserted from the side without threading, making it well suited to retrofitting protection onto existing wiring harnesses and organising loose or exposed wiring runs. Rated to 90°C continuous with a melting temperature of 120°C. Suited to automotive, marine and caravan wiring environments including underbonnet applications. Covered by a one year warranty.

Product overview

The ACX1102 is the 200m mid-volume roll in the OEX 7mm fire retardant split convoluted tubing range, sitting between the 30m ACX1101 workshop roll and the 400m ACX1100/400 high-volume trade roll. Sharing the same 7mm ID, 10.4mm OD and fire retardant polypropylene construction as the ACX1100/400, the ACX1102 suits workshops that regularly use this product but do not require full 400m trade-volume supply. The fire retardant polypropylene material resists ignition and self-extinguishes if a flame source is removed, providing an added layer of safety over standard polypropylene sleeving in automotive wiring environments.

The split design allows cables to be pressed in from the side along the lengthwise opening without threading from one end, making it practical for retrofitting protection to installed harnesses and organising wiring runs without disconnecting connectors. The convoluted construction provides flexibility for routing around bends while maintaining abrasion and chafing protection. The 200m roll suits mid-volume workshop operations running regular wiring protection work across automotive, 4WD, caravan, trailer and marine installations.

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.

Fire retardant polypropylene: Resists ignition and self-extinguishes if a flame source is removed, providing an added safety margin over standard polypropylene in automotive wiring environments.

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

Black: Supplied in black, suited to standard automotive wiring presentation.

Convoluted construction: Flexible and bendable while maintaining cable protection against abrasion and chafing, suited to routing through bends and tight spaces.

90°C continuous temperature rating: Suited to automotive and underbonnet environments where sustained heat is present.

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

200m roll: Mid-volume trade format for workshops running regular wiring protection work, sitting between the 30m workshop roll and the 400m high-volume 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 convoluted ribbed construction gives it flexibility and abrasion resistance.

What is fire retardant polypropylene? Polypropylene is a lightweight, chemical-resistant thermoplastic commonly used for convoluted tubing. The fire retardant grade used in this product resists ignition and self-extinguishes if a flame source is removed, providing an added safety margin in automotive wiring environments over standard polypropylene sleeving.

How does the ACX1102 compare to the other 7mm split convoluted tubing options? OEX offers the 7mm split convoluted tubing in three roll lengths. The ACX1101 (30m) is a corrugated polypropylene workshop roll suited to single-vehicle jobs. The ACX1102 (200m) and ACX1100/400 (400m) are both fire retardant polypropylene, suited to regular and high-volume workshop use respectively. Select based on your typical usage volume.

Is this tubing suitable for underbonnet use? Yes. The 90°C continuous temperature rating and 120°C melting 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.
