Overview

Industry first in offering a zipper closure that can be cut to desired length
Durable, tough and flexible jacketing that is flame retardant
Easy to install cable management solution

Swift-Zip® (RPU) is a non-PVC, flame-retardant, and tear-resistant cable management solution featuring a rare industry find of a continuous zipper closure with the capability to be cut to varying lengths. Swift-Zip® (RPU) uses a poly(ether)urethane-coated, polyester-fabric jacketing, which is a tough, flexible material that is ideal for cable or wire bundles that need to move effortlessly without the fear of shredding. With its white, non-PVC jacketing and fluid resistance to most solvents, Swift-Zip® (RPU) is the perfect cable management solution for the medical industry due to its clean appearance and strong bond. Additionally, the RPU jacketing is RoHS compliant, and meets the NFPA-701 (2 Sec.) and FAR-25.853a (12 Sec.) standards for flame retardancy.

The strong, RF-welded zipper closure is laminated in a polyurethane film that is resistant to water, making this solution ideal for environments that may experience exposure to fluid. Though not completely waterproof, any contact with liquid it does have will cause the liquid to simply bead off. Pairing a white zipper and white jacketing, the Swift-Zip® (RPU) has a sleek and clean look and is ideal for environments that need a sterile appearance. The zipper’s teeth thread is located within, so the outside has an even and flush exterior. Depending on needs, Swift-Zip® (RPU) can be cut to any length while still having the protection of a durable, zipped closure with a removable zipper. Finished endings can be easily stapled or sewn shut.

Swift-Zip® (RPU) offers a variety of diameter sizes from 0.5” to 4.0” and a temperature range of -40°F to 159°F (-40°C to 71°C).

Installation Instructions

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q: What lengths of Swift Zip products are available?

A: Our zipper closed sleeves can be ordered in lengths as short as a few inches to lengths of 100 feet or more. When quoting or ordering, make sure to clearly state the length of each sleeve in inches, which is typically referenced at the end of the part number (-X120.0 for example).

Q: What diameter of jacketing do I need? Is it recommended to oversize?

A: We will often suggest oversizing the sleeve diameter by 1/8” to allow for ease of installation. If the application requires significant bending or flexing we will suggest even more extra room. For assistance with sizing you can also contact one of our design engineers.

Q: Can I cut the Jacketing?

A: Yes! Unlike standard zippered jackets, Swift Zip products are built without a pin/box end or top stops. The jacketing can be cut to length in sections as required. After cutting, stops can be added to the cut section, or it can be left with just the teeth, no stops or zipper pull. For more details on cutting, erminating, or closing Swift Zip jackets, please contact one of our design engineers.

Q: I need extra zipper pulls, what do I do?

A: We offer extra zipper pulls here, or you can use commercial 3mm sized pulls with a reverse-use slider tab for back-side operation.

Q: I want to keep the jacketing secured at the ends, what should I use?

A: A standard locking zipper pull will keep zipper teeth from separating. Without this pull, several other means can be used to keep the ends together. Glue, tape, zip-ties, and even staples can be used to secure the ends of the sleeving to keep them from coming apart.

Q: Will the zipper keep out water and is it water-tight?

A: No. Our standard zippers do a great job at keeping big debris and dirt out of the jacketing but are not water tight. Our Swift Zip coil zippers are rated at IP4X, which means they will keep out most dirt and dust but water splashing can enter the jacket. If you need more protection, you may consider a track closure or adhesive closure option.
