Description
OEX ACX1105/250 Fire Retardant Split Convoluted Tubing 9.7mm Internal Diameter Black 250m Roll
The OEX ACX1105/250 is a split convoluted tubing sleeve in 9.7mm internal diameter, supplied in a 250m length in black. Manufactured from fire retardant polypropylene, the split design allows cables to be inserted from the side without threading. At 9.7mm ID and 12.8mm OD with a maximum bundle size of 9.9mm, it accommodates larger cable bundles than the 7mm range. Rated to 90°C continuous with a melting temperature of 120°C. Covered by a one year warranty.
Product overview
The ACX1105/250 is the high-volume 250m roll in the OEX 9.7mm fire retardant split convoluted tubing range, suited to workshops running large quantities of wiring protection work at this size. It shares the same fire retardant polypropylene construction, internal diameter and temperature rating as the ACX1105 (125m), providing the same product in a larger supply format. Workshops that regularly work through 125m rolls of the ACX1105 will find the 250m format reduces reordering frequency.
The fire retardant polypropylene material resists ignition and self-extinguishes if a flame source is removed, providing an added safety margin over standard polypropylene sleeving. The split design allows cables to be pressed in from the side along the lengthwise opening without threading from one end, suited to retrofitting protection to installed harnesses and organising wiring runs without disconnecting connectors. The 250m roll is the highest-volume format available in the OEX 9.7mm split convoluted tubing range.
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.
9.7mm internal diameter and 12.8mm outside diameter: Accommodates larger cable bundles than the 7mm range, with a maximum bundle size of 9.9mm suited to medium-sized wire bundles and individual larger-gauge cables.
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.
250m roll: High-volume trade format for workshops running large quantities of wiring protection work at the 9.7mm size, reducing reordering frequency over the 125m format.
One year warranty: Covered by a one year OEX warranty.

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 ACX1105/250 compare to the other 9.7mm options in the OEX range? OEX offers the 9.7mm split convoluted tubing across three roll lengths. The ACX1104 (30m) is corrugated polypropylene for single-vehicle jobs. The ACX1105 (125m) and ACX1105/250 (250m) are both fire retardant polypropylene. Select the ACX1105/250 for high-volume workshop operations where the 125m roll is consumed regularly and a larger supply format reduces reordering.
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.
