CABAC BI-METAL LINK 185AL TO 16CU BLK185/16 x 1/EACH

Description

Reliable Aluminium-to-Copper Cable Connections

The CABAC BLK185/16 Bi-Metal Link is designed for secure termination between aluminium and copper conductors, making it ideal for mixed-metal cable installations. Built to connect 185mm² aluminium cable to 16mm² copper cable, this bi-metal link provides a dependable transition point while maintaining strong electrical conductivity.

Friction welded using high-purity aluminium (99.6%) and copper (99.9%), the link delivers a solid and consistent bond between the two metals. This construction helps minimise resistance at the joint, supporting efficient current flow and long-term performance in demanding electrical installations.

For electricians working with stranded sector or circular stranded aluminium cables connecting to copper, this link provides a straightforward, reliable solution that reduces the risk of connection issues on site.

Built for Compliance and Long-Term Reliability

CABAC bi-metal links are manufactured to Australian dimensions, ensuring compatibility with Australian standard crimp tooling commonly used by licensed electricians and contractors. This eliminates guesswork during installation and helps ensure a proper crimp every time.

Each link comes pre-coated with jointing compound to help reduce oxidation at the connection point. This protective layer improves the longevity of the termination and supports reliable performance in electrical distribution systems.

Made from high-purity metals and engineered specifically for aluminium-to-copper connections, the CABAC BLK185/16 helps maintain safe and compliant cable terminations in residential, commercial, and industrial installations.

Trade-Ready Packaging for Fast Installations

Designed with trade efficiency in mind, each CABAC bi-metal link is individually packed in plastic bags to keep the connector clean and ready for installation straight out of the pack. This reduces handling issues on site and helps electricians maintain consistent connection quality across multiple terminations.

CABAC offers a full range of standard sizes, making it easy to match the correct link to the cable sizes used on your project. Where non-standard sizes are required, links can also be machined to order at short notice, providing flexibility for specialised installations.

Available through trade-focused electrical wholesalers, the CABAC BLK185/16 bi-metal link helps electricians keep projects moving with reliable parts that work with standard tools and established installation methods.
