CABAC CU LUG 185MM2 CABLE 12MM STUD CAL185LB-12 x 1/EACH

Description

High-Performance Copper Termination for Heavy-Duty Electrical Loads

The CABAC CAL185LB-12 Copper Long Barrel Lug is engineered for demanding 185mm² cable terminations where performance and reliability are critical. Built from high conductivity copper with an extended barrel design, it delivers superior crimp strength and electrical integrity for high-load applications such as switchboards, high-voltage terminations, and industrial distribution systems. The long barrel allows multiple crimps for improved mechanical grip, reducing the risk of cable pull-out in high-stress environments. With excellent conductivity and low resistivity, this lug supports efficient current transfer while maintaining stable performance under continuous electrical load.

Fully Compliant, Durable & Built for Harsh Environments

Designed for professional electrical contractors, this copper lug is manufactured to meet key international standards including AS4325 Part 1, IEC, DIN/VDE, JIS, BS, and NEMA requirements. The palm is solder sealed to prevent moisture ingress, making it suitable for outdoor and exposed installations where corrosion protection is essential. With tin plating for enhanced durability and oxidation resistance, it ensures long service life even in challenging site conditions. Rated for operating temperatures from -55°C to 155°C, this lug provides dependable performance across a wide range of industrial and commercial applications.

Trade-Ready Design for Faster Installation & Compatibility

Built for efficiency on the job site, the long barrel design allows for easier crimping using standard hexagon dies commonly used across CABAC, Utilux, and Burndy tooling systems. This interchangeability helps electricians streamline their installation process without needing specialized equipment. The extended barrel also provides additional space for heatshrink sealing, enabling a secure, airtight finish that reduces rework and improves installation quality. Ideal for contractors working under tight project deadlines, this lug supports faster, cleaner, and more reliable terminations.
