Nylon braid (?)

McMaster has 250' spools of 1.25" polyester for $168. Various colors. You can probably find it cheaper elswhere.

They also list MIL-STD-202 fire-retardant and plenum rated, but not in longer lengths (and more expensive). Also have the velcro (sorry, 'hook and loop') type.

I'd really prefer nylon -- and a "heavy" nylon, at that!

I'm going to have to start asking for samples, I think. Quality seems to be all over the map (including lots of "product" that makes no claim other than *color*! :< )

I'll have to dig up some old references and see what they can tell me about the source we used...

If you'd wanted lacing I'd have suggested regular thin cord, forgetting the knots & applying drops of superglue. I've not tried it that way, bet it would be far faster than all that damn knotting involved with lacing.

I know I'm late to the party, but:

and no, I don't know what the difference is between these two categories. Their "standard expandable sleeving" in 1" diameter (at rest) is 54 cents a foot if you get a 250 foot roll.

I've bought corrugated split loom from Del City before; I only got a few hundred feet, but they will sell you a few *miles* of it if you have the loading dock for it. 250 feet seems to be standard for the nylon braid, but they may be able to do longer rolls if you ask.

I have no affiliation with Del City other than as a customer.

There is a lot of commercial "nylon" stuff, but the mill stuff is usually rayon or other low flammability media.

NumeroUno:

rayon less flammable than nylon?
