Cabac AL LINK 185MM2 ALK185

Description

Built for High-Current Performance on Site

Designed for demanding power connections, the Cabac AL LINK 185MM2 ALK185 delivers consistent electrical performance on stranded sector and circular stranded aluminium conductors. Manufactured from solid 99.6% pure electrical-grade aluminium rod, the forged construction eliminates metal imperfections that can lead to resistance build-up over time. The barrier-type design actively forces jointing compound back along the conductor strands during crimping, helping achieve a secure, low-resistance joint. A unique funnel entry makes cable insertion faster and cleaner, reducing install time when working with larger aluminium conductors under pressure on site.

Long-Term Reliability You Can Trust

Reliability is critical on commercial and industrial jobs, and this aluminium link is engineered to minimise future hot joints and callbacks. Chemically treated barrels reduce contact resistance, while factory-filled jointing compound and capping protect the connection from oxidation. Clearly marked crimping lines support correct installation, with crimping from the centre outwards using standard Australian Z hex dies. The barrier design also makes this link suitable where oil-filled cables are present, adding another layer of protection and compliance confidence for licensed electricians.

Trade-Focused Convenience and Install Efficiency

Built with working electricians in mind, this aluminium link supports fast, repeatable installs across multiple projects. Straightforward preparation—scratch brush the conductor, insert, and crimp—keeps workflows efficient and downtime low. The standard metric format suits common applications, while the option for special formats or imperial links ensures flexibility when project specs demand it. Backed by dependable trade supply and competitive wholesale pricing, it’s a practical choice for contractors managing tight schedules and margins.
