CABAC Bi-Metal Link 500AL TO 500CU BLK500/500

Description

Reliable Aluminium-to-Copper Connections for High-Capacity Cabling

The CABAC Bi-Metal Link 500AL to 500CU BLK500/500 is designed to safely connect circular or sector stranded aluminium cable to circular copper cable, making it a practical solution for high-capacity cable transitions in power distribution and industrial installations.

Built using a friction welding process, the aluminium-to-copper joint forms a strong, electrically sound bond that maintains reliable conductivity under demanding site conditions. This construction helps ensure a stable connection where different conductor materials need to be joined without compromising electrical performance.

For electricians and contractors working on switchboards, distribution equipment, or heavy-duty feeder cables, this link provides a dependable transition point between aluminium and copper conductors.

Strong Bi-Metal Joint Designed to Resist Electrolysis

The friction-welded construction creates a solid metallurgical bond between aluminium and copper, preventing separation and maintaining long-term electrical integrity.

Importantly, the joint is engineered so it will not be subject to electrolysis, reducing the risk of corrosion that can occur when dissimilar metals are connected. This makes the link particularly suitable for installations where long service life and reliability are essential.

Using a purpose-built bi-metal link instead of improvised connections helps maintain consistent conductivity and reduces the likelihood of faults caused by poor material compatibility.

Designed for Fast Crimping with Standard Trade Tooling

Efficiency on site matters, and the CABAC BLK500/500 Bi-Metal Link is designed to integrate easily into standard installation workflows.

The link is designed to be crimped using CABAC and MSS Power Tool dies, and it can also be crimped with standard hex dies, making it compatible with commonly used crimping equipment. This allows electricians to install the connection quickly without needing specialised tooling outside their existing setup.

For contractors managing multiple installations or tight project timelines, using components that work seamlessly with standard tools helps keep jobs moving and reduces installation downtime.
