  • Friction-welded joint provides a strong electrically conductive connection
  • High-purity aluminium and copper construction
  • Pre-filled jointing compound helps disrupt aluminium oxidation
  • Designed for use with standard Australian crimping tools and dies
  • Suitable for circular or sector-stranded aluminium cable to circular-stranded copper cable
Professional Installation Requirements
  • Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician using the specified CABAC crimp die combination and in accordance with the manufacturer's crimping instructions and applicable wiring regulations.
Applications
  • Joining aluminium power cable to copper cable
  • Reducing joints in electrical power distribution systems
  • Aluminium cable transitions to copper tails or fly leads
  • Low-voltage electrical installations using dissimilar conductor materials
Standards & Compliance
  • AS/NZS 4325.1:1995 (R2016) for compression and mechanical connectors for power cables with copper or aluminium conductors; verify the specific product's current certification and installation requirements before use.
