CABAC BI-METAL LINK 16AL TO 16CU BLK16/16 x 1/EACH

Description

Reliable Aluminium-to-Copper Cable Connections

The CABAC BI-METAL LINK 16AL TO 16CU BLK16/16 is designed to provide a dependable connection between 16mm² aluminium and 16mm² copper conductors, helping electricians safely join dissimilar metals without risking corrosion or connection failure.

Ideal for stranded sector and circular stranded aluminium to stranded copper cable, this bi-metal link ensures stable conductivity across mixed conductor types commonly found in distribution systems, upgrades, and retrofit installations.

The friction-welded aluminium and copper construction delivers a secure bond that maintains electrical performance while reducing the risk of joint degradation over time—helping keep installations safe and compliant on residential, commercial, and industrial jobs.

Built for Long-Term Reliability and Trade Compliance

CABAC bi-metal links are manufactured to Australian dimensions, allowing them to be crimped using standard Australian crimp tooling already used by most electricians. That means no special tools required and consistent results on site.

Each link is friction welded from 99.6% pure aluminium and 99.9% pure copper, ensuring strong mechanical integrity and reliable electrical conductivity. The barrels are pre-coated with jointing compound, helping minimise oxidation and improve connection reliability when joining aluminium to copper conductors.

Individually packed in protective plastic bags, these links arrive clean and ready to install—reducing contamination risk and saving prep time on site.

Trade-Ready for Faster Installations

When projects run on tight schedules, electricians need components that install quickly and work first time. The CABAC BLK16/16 bi-metal crimp link is built for straightforward installation using standard crimping equipment, making it a practical solution for both planned installations and urgent repair work.

CABAC also offers a full range of standard sizes, giving contractors flexibility across different conductor combinations. For specialised applications, links can be machined to order at short notice, helping trades keep projects moving without waiting for hard-to-source parts.

For electricians managing mixed-conductor networks or upgrade works, this link provides a dependable, compliant solution that keeps downtime to a minimum.
