What is this wire sleeve called
(1/2) > >>
Ground_Loop:
I'm working on an old Philco radio and need to replace several caps. I will need wire sleeves as shown below, but don't know the official name to search on. I keep getting results for braided sleeve or heat shrink. What is the proper name for this stuff?

tszaboo:
Some call it  "Insulation tube"
Ground_Loop:
Found it.  Searched for silicone fiberglass sleeve.
AlbertL:
Back when that radio was built, the industry slang term for the tubing was "spaghetti".
TimFox:
At the time of spaghetti tubing, it was often varnished cambric woven fabric.
