Product Overview
The CABAC CASR400/240 Copper Reducing Link is used to create a permanent compression joint between a 400mm² copper conductor and a 240mm² copper conductor. It provides a practical cable transition where two different conductor sizes need to be joined in a power distribution, switchboard, cable tail or jointing application.
This reducing link is suitable for circular and sector stranded copper conductors. When installed with the correct crimping equipment, it provides a mechanically secure and electrically reliable connection for heavy-duty electrical installations. It is commonly used by electrical contractors, utilities, switchboard builders and industrial maintenance teams working with large copper conductors.

Installation Notes
Confirm conductor size and link orientation before crimping. Strip each copper conductor to the correct length, insert fully into the appropriate end of the reducing link and crimp with the correct die set for each conductor size. The completed joint should be mechanically checked and insulated to suit the installation environment.
Product details
Copper Reducing Link
The CABAC copper reducing link range are a barrier type, so they can be used in any situation where an impermeable barrier to oils or water is required.
Note: Do not crimp close to the centre barrier or the links may shear.
