Electrical Tapes

Electrical tapes are insulating and wrapping materials sold in rolls, used to insulate conductor splices, to wrap cable bundles and to seal connections against moisture. They are used in splicing and repair work in building installations, for bundling in panel and machine wiring, and, in their colored types, for marking conductors. The subgroups include PVC insulating tapes, fleece and non-fleece cloth tapes and self-fusing tapes that bond to themselves. Tapes from brands such as Schneider Electric, Globe, Coroplast and Konsan are listed in widths such as 9 mm, 19 mm, 25 mm and 50 mm and in roll lengths such as 8 m, 15 m, 20 m and 25 m. Choose the tape type by the job (insulating tape for splice insulation and color coding, cloth tape for bundle wrapping, self-fusing tape for sealing against moisture), the width by the diameter of the cable or bundle to be wrapped, the roll length by the volume of work, and the thickness and temperature and voltage resistance by the manufacturer data. Insulating and cloth tapes hold with their adhesive surfaces; self-fusing tape is non-adhesive and, when wound under tension, its layers fuse together.

How to choose Tapes

Electrical tapes are insulating and wrapping materials sold in rolls, used to insulate conductor splices, to wrap cable bundles and to seal connections against moisture. They are used in splicing and repair work in building installations, for bundling in panel and machine wiring, and, in their colored types, for marking conductors.

  • Clarify whether the task is connection, cable routing, enclosure distribution or termination.
  • Match dimensions, thread standard, conductor cross-section and IP rating with the cable and panel.
  • Choose housing material and pack quantity according to the mounting environment.
