The present invention relates generally to protective housings for electrically and non-electrically conducting elongated members, and, more particularly, to a non-corrugated protective tubular housing for wires (including cables) such as electrical, optical, audio, video, cable, telephonic, fiber optic, data, power, digital, and USB wires, and the like, that substantially prevents deleterious bending, crimping, coiling, and/or kinking or other damaging forces from shortening the effective lifespan of the wire and any attached components.
