CABAC BI-METAL LINK 185AL TO 95CU BLK185/95 x 1/EACH

Description

Reliable Aluminium-to-Copper Connections for High-Load Installations

The CABAC Bi-Metal Link 185AL to 95CU BLK185/95 is designed to deliver a secure transition between aluminium and copper conductors in demanding electrical installations. Built for stranded sector and circular stranded aluminium to stranded copper cable, this link helps electricians achieve a dependable mechanical and electrical connection where mixed conductor materials are required.

By combining aluminium and copper in a single friction-welded connector, the link minimises resistance at the joint while maintaining strong conductivity. This makes it a practical solution for switchboards, distribution systems, and power infrastructure where aluminium feeders connect to copper cabling.

For contractors working on tight deadlines, the design supports efficient installation using standard crimping methods—helping keep projects moving without unnecessary rework or connection issues.

Trade-Grade Construction for Consistent Performance and Compliance

CABAC bi-metal links are manufactured using high-purity metals to ensure durability and reliable conductivity across a wide range of electrical applications. The aluminium section is made from 99.6% pure aluminium, while the copper section uses 99.9% pure copper, delivering dependable performance in mixed-metal conductor connections.

Each connector is friction welded, creating a strong bond between the aluminium and copper sections to reduce the risk of joint failure under load. The barrels are pre-coated with jointing compound, helping limit oxidation and maintain conductivity over time.

Importantly for Australian electricians, these links are manufactured to Australian dimensions, allowing them to be crimped using standard Australian tooling. This ensures compatibility with common tools already in your kit, supporting compliant installations across residential, commercial, and industrial sites.

Built for Efficient Trade Work and Fast Procurement

Time on site matters. The CABAC BLK185/95 bi-metal link is individually packed for easy handling and organised storage in service vehicles or site containers. This simple packaging approach keeps connectors protected until installation and helps electricians maintain tidy inventory across multiple jobs.

With a full range of standard sizes available in the CABAC bi-metal link range, contractors can confidently source the right connector for different conductor combinations without delays. Where specialised connections are required, links can also be machined to order at short notice, providing flexibility for complex or custom installations.

For electricians managing multiple projects, using reliable connectors like the CABAC bi-metal link helps reduce call-backs, maintain compliance, and keep installations running smoothly from rough-in through to commissioning.
