EPS400 is 0.40"/0.12" While EPS800 is 0.80/0.22" IOW EPS 400
shrinks to 0.12" from 0.40" while EPS800 Shrinks from 0.8" to 0.22".
Pretty close to 4:1
If you are putting it on connectors, the EPS800 easily slides over UHF
and N connectors and adds a lot of mechanical strength.
I doubt the tape would add near as much strength as either 3M product.
It will allow making good strong cable splices using UHF connectors.
I went to 8X after trying to use the 240 for feed lines to the 40 meter
slopers. The center conductors kept breaking from the cables whipping
in the wind.

Subject: [TowerTalk] Shrink Tubing
All:
Is there shrink tubing that will reliably shrink by a 4:1 ratio? I tried
using some tubing I had on hand to cover several N-connector jumpers
with LMR-240 cable. It worked fine on the connector, but would not
shrink around the 1/4 inch cable.
Any suggestions?
Tony
