CABAC BI-METAL LINK 50AL TO 16CU BLK50/16 x 1/EACH

Description

Reliable Aluminium-to-Copper Connections for Electrical Installations

The CABAC Bi-Metal Link 50AL to 16CU (BLK50/16) is designed to provide a dependable transition between aluminium and copper conductors in electrical installations. Built for stranded sector and circular stranded aluminium cable connecting to stranded copper cable, this bi-metal link helps maintain strong electrical continuity while reducing the risk of corrosion between dissimilar metals.

By using a purpose-built bi-metal crimp link, electricians can create a secure connection that performs reliably across residential, commercial, and industrial installations. The aluminium section (99.6% pure) and copper section (99.9% pure) are friction welded to form a strong bond, ensuring consistent current transfer and long-term performance in demanding environments.

Built for Durability, Compliance, and Long-Term Performance

CABAC’s range of bi-metal links is manufactured to Australian dimensions, allowing them to be crimped using standard Australian tooling commonly carried by electricians and contractors. This makes installation straightforward on site without requiring specialised equipment.

Each link is pre-coated with jointing compound, helping reduce oxidation and maintain connection integrity over time. The friction-welded aluminium and copper construction ensures a stable electrical interface between conductor materials, helping maintain reliable performance where aluminium cables meet copper terminations.

Individually packed in protective plastic bags, each link arrives clean and ready for installation, supporting compliance-focused electrical work where connection quality matters.

Trade-Ready Cable Links That Keep Jobs Moving

For electricians working on tight project schedules, having the right termination component available can prevent costly delays. The CABAC BLK50/16 bi-metal crimp link is part of a full range of standard sizes designed to support a wide variety of cable combinations used across Australian electrical projects.

These links are designed with trade efficiency in mind—compatible with standard crimping tools, pre-treated with jointing compound, and packaged individually for easy storage in tool kits or site bins. For projects requiring specialised connections, custom machining can also be arranged on short notice, giving contractors flexibility when working with non-standard cable configurations.

Whether you’re handling switchboard work, distribution connections, or maintenance upgrades, a reliable aluminium-to-copper cable link helps ensure the job is completed safely, efficiently, and to professional standards.
