Copper Reducing Link 185-70mm²

The CABAC Copper Reducing Link 185-70mm² provides a compression crimp connection between 185mm² and 70mm² copper conductors. It is intended for cable reduction points where electricians need a secure mechanical and electrical joint between different conductor sizes.

Suitable for circular and sector stranded copper conductors, this reducing link is commonly used in reducing joints, fly leads, cable tails, distribution boards, switchboards and industrial LV installations. The connector includes an impermeable barrier to help resist oil and water migration through the joint.
