CABAC CAL185-12 WITH BELLMOUTH CAL185-12BM x 1/EACH

Description

High-Performance Termination for Fine Stranded Cable

When working with fine stranded flexible cable, clean and secure terminations can be a challenge. The CABAC CAL185-12 Bell Mouth Lug is purpose-built to solve that problem on-site. The integrated bell mouth funnel design guides splayed conductors smoothly into the barrel, reducing installation time and minimizing strand damage.

This means faster terminations, fewer reworks, and a more consistent crimp—especially critical when working with larger conductors in the 185mm² range. For contractors handling tight deadlines, this design helps keep jobs moving without compromising connection quality.

Built for Reliability & Australian Compliance

Manufactured from 99.95% pure annealed copper and finished with high-quality tin plating, this lug delivers excellent conductivity and corrosion resistance in demanding environments. With a total conductivity rating of 99.7% IACS, it ensures efficient current flow across your connections.

Fully compliant with AS4325.1, this lug is suitable for use across residential, commercial, and industrial installations where compliance and safety are non-negotiable. Its wide operating temperature range (-55°C to 155°C) makes it dependable across varied site conditions, from indoor switchboards to harsher industrial settings.

Trade-Ready Convenience & Compatibility

Designed with real-world trade use in mind, the CAL185-12BM offers compatibility with common tooling systems including CABAC, Utilux, and Burndy—helping you avoid unnecessary tool changes on-site.

For cables at the upper end of the size range, CABAC recommends stepping up a lug size and applying the correct crimping method for fine stranded conductors. This flexibility ensures you can adapt quickly without delays or sourcing alternative parts.

Available individually and in box quantities, it’s easy to manage stock levels whether you’re restocking the van or ordering for larger projects. Backed by a trusted trade supplier, you get consistent availability and dependable supply when it matters most.
