Techflex is a woven nylon mesh tube; we offer it as an option on multi-cable assemblies as a means of bundling multiple cables together for convenience and/or a neater-appearing cable. It compromises the flexibility of a cable assembly somewhat, though this effect is usually not severe. When cables are grouped in techflex, we leave approximately 4-5 inches of cable exposed between the end of the techflex wrap and the beginning of the cable strain relief boot, to allow for fanning out of the connectors at each end. We fold the techflex wrap under itself at each end, creating a "trumpet" appearance; this allows the techflex to be retracted easily if it is necessary to adjust the position of the cables inside or to allow more room for fanning.
Techflex has no effect upon cable performance.
