Description
Raychem MWTM Medium Wall Heat Shrink
Raychem MWTM heat shrink from TE Connectivity is a medium-wall tubing range for electrical insulation, cable sealing and mechanical protection.
MWTM uses UV-stabilised cross-linked polyolefin and offers a 3:1 nominal shrink ratio. As a result, one tubing size can cover a relatively wide range of cable diameters.
The tubing suits low-voltage cable insulation as well as sealing and protection on low- and medium-voltage cables and cable accessories.

Typical Applications
MWTM tubing can provide both electrical insulation and mechanical protection around cables, joints and electrical components.
Typical applications include:
- Low-voltage cable insulation
- Cable jointing and termination
- Cable jacket protection
- Environmental sealing
- Mechanical protection
- Utility cable installations
- Mining and industrial electrical installations
- Infrastructure and maintenance work
Furthermore, its UV-stabilised construction makes it suitable for many outdoor applications.
Choosing the Right Wall Thickness
MWTM provides a medium-wall solution for insulation, sealing and general cable protection.
For applications that require a heavier wall and greater mechanical protection, consider our Raychem WCSM Heavy Wall Heat Shrink.
