With dependence on electricity increasing with each passing day, demands of cables are on the rise as well. The cables need to be joined with one another so that the flow of electricity takes place smoothly from the source of electricity to the end point. Various kinds of cable jointing systems have been developed and implemented which help in maintaining continuity of the cables when they need to be extended to long lengths. To create the best cable joints, various kinds of accessories are needed and some most important ones among them include heat shrink tape, PVC caps, sealing and cable caps etc. In case the joints are loose, there will be electricity leakage and accidents might take place.

You will notice that in many places, bunch of cables have a protective covering on top in the form of tubing. The tubing should be such that no pressure should be inflected on the cables and they remain safe and protected. Therefore, the right size of the tubing should be chosen. Size of the tubing is understood by the ratio of the expanded size. In case there is a 3:1 ratio, it means that there is 1/3^rd shrinkage of the tube, when compared to its original diameter. The same concept is applicable if the ratio is 2:1. There are different ratios in which heat shrink tubes are available. The most suitable ones are those which shrink to faintly smaller size of the cable you are applying to.
