Product Overview
The CABAC CASR400/150 Copper Reducing Link is designed for making a compression crimp joint between a 400mm² copper conductor and a 150mm² copper conductor. It is used where a larger copper conductor must be transitioned down to a smaller conductor size while maintaining a dependable electrical connection.
This reducing link is suitable for circular and sector stranded copper conductors. It is commonly used in reducing joints, fly leads, tails, switchboards, distribution systems and industrial electrical installations. When installed using the correct crimping tool and dies, the link provides a permanent connection with good conductivity and mechanical retention.

Installation Notes
Install with correctly sized copper conductors only. Fully insert each conductor into the matching side of the reducing link and use the correct crimping dies for each conductor size. The finished crimp should be checked for mechanical security and insulated with suitable jointing or heatshrink materials according to the installation requirements.
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.
