Product Overview
The CABAC CASR240/185 Copper Reducing Link is a compression connector for joining a 240mm² copper conductor to a 185mm² copper conductor. It is used where a permanent conductor size transition is required in electrical distribution, switchboard, fly lead, cable tail or jointing applications.
This reducing link is suitable for circular and sector stranded copper conductors. When installed with the correct crimping tool and dies, it provides a reliable electrical connection and mechanical retention for heavy-duty copper cable work.

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.
