Key Features
  • Connects 300mm² 3-core sector aluminium cable to 185mm² circular stranded copper cable
  • Friction-welded aluminium-to-copper transition joint reduces the risk of galvanic corrosion and electrolysis
  • High-purity aluminium and copper construction for reliable conductivity
  • Pre-filled jointing compound helps protect the aluminium conductor interface from oxidation
  • Designed for Australian-standard crimping equipment and dies
  • Suitable for power distribution, cable jointing and mixed-metal cable transitions
Professional Installation Requirements
  • Installation must be performed by a licensed electrical contractor using the specified CABAC or compatible crimping dies, correct crimp sequence and an approved jointing procedure. De-energise and isolate the cable before work.
Applications
  • Low-voltage power distribution cable jointing
  • Transitioning 300mm² 3-core sector aluminium cable to 185mm² copper cable
  • Switchboards, substations and distribution equipment
  • Industrial and commercial electrical infrastructure
  • Cable repair, extension and replacement work involving dissimilar conductor metals
Standards & Compliance
  • AS/NZS 4325.1 for compression connectors and terminations
  • Installation should also comply with AS/NZS 3000 and the applicable network or electrical authority requirements
Environmental Benefits
  • Enables continued use of aluminium cable with copper equipment or cable sections, reducing the need for full cable replacement
  • Copper and aluminium components are recyclable at end of service life
  • Friction-welded construction and corrosion-resistant transition design can extend service life and reduce replacement waste
  • Jointing compound helps protect the connection from oxidation and premature failure
