2:1 vs 3:1 Shrink Ratio – What’s the Difference?

The shrink ratio determines how tightly a sleeve will conform to the cable
and how much range of diameters it can cover. The most common types are
2:1 and 3:1.

2:1 Shrink Ratio

Shrinks to half its supplied diameter (e.g. 6 mm → 3 mm).

  • Advantages: Lower cost, thinner wall (more flexible), ideal for uniform cable diameters.
  • Limitations: Less suitable for irregular shapes or cables with connectors/splices.
    May not grip tightly if chosen too large.

3:1 Shrink Ratio

Shrinks to one third of its supplied diameter (e.g. 6 mm → 2 mm).

  • Advantages: Covers a wider diameter range with fewer sizes in stock.
    Better fit on irregular shapes, connectors, and transitions. Creates a tighter seal.
  • Limitations: Higher cost, thicker wall (slightly stiffer).

Rule of Thumb

  • Choose 2:1 for uniform cables, cost-sensitive projects, and when flexibility is key.
  • Choose 3:1 for irregular diameters, cables with connectors,
    and when you need fewer sleeve sizes in stock or a tighter fit.

When Do we use the different standards?

Militairy Grade

  • Flame-retardant, cross-linked polyolefin.
  • Tested against heat, abrasion, fuels, solvents, and chemicals.
  • Meets strict standards (AMS-DTL-23053, UL224, SAE-AS 81531).

Best For: Aerospace, defense, marine, rail, and certified high-reliability environments.

 

Zero Halogen
