CABAC BI-METAL LINK 185AL TO 185CU BLK185/185 x 1/EACH

Description

Reliable Aluminium-to-Copper Connections for Heavy-Duty Installations

The CABAC Bi-Metal Link 185AL to 185CU is designed to provide a dependable connection between 185mm² aluminium and 185mm² copper conductors in demanding electrical installations. Built for stranded sector and circular stranded aluminium cable connecting to stranded copper cable, this link ensures a strong mechanical and electrical bond where dissimilar metals must be joined.

Using a friction-welded aluminium-to-copper construction, the link delivers consistent conductivity while helping reduce the risk of overheating or connection failure. For electricians working on switchboards, distribution systems, and large power cables, this design provides a stable transition point between aluminium and copper conductors, supporting efficient installation and long-term performance.

Whether you’re terminating feeders or connecting large conductors in commercial or industrial environments, this bi-metal link helps ensure the connection performs reliably under load.

Built for Compliance and Long-Term Electrical Reliability

Manufactured by CABAC to Australian dimensional standards, this bi-metal link is designed to integrate seamlessly with Australian standard crimp tooling, helping electricians maintain compliant installations without compatibility concerns.

Each connector is produced using 99.6% pure aluminium and 99.9% pure copper, friction welded to create a durable transition between the two metals. The barrels are pre-coated with jointing compound, helping reduce oxidation and supporting improved long-term conductivity in aluminium connections.

For contractors working on infrastructure, switchboard upgrades, or commercial installations, this level of material quality and manufacturing precision helps ensure connections remain secure and electrically stable over time.

Trade-Friendly Installation and Availability

Efficiency on site matters. The CABAC BLK185/185 Bi-Metal Link is individually packed for protection and easy handling, allowing electricians to grab what they need quickly when terminating large conductors.

Designed to work with standard crimp tooling already used across Australian job sites, the link helps streamline installations without the need for specialised equipment. With a full range of standard sizes available across the CABAC range, contractors can maintain consistency across projects while reducing time spent sourcing compatible connectors.

For electrical contractors managing tight timelines and multiple installations, having reliable, ready-to-install connectors helps minimise delays and keep projects moving.
