Overview

The ABB CS61 Service Entrance Compression Splice is a high-integrity aluminum splice designed for reliable end-to-end connections of aluminum-to-aluminum (AL-AL) or aluminum-to-copper (AL-CU) conductors in commercial and industrial service entrance applications. This 2-inch splice accommodates wire ranges from 8 AWG stranded to 6 AWG solid on both End A and End B, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of conductor sizes. The green color-coded design provides quick identification and matches standard industry practices for service entrance splices. Engineered for durability and performance, the CS61 features a solid center barrier and large chamfers for easy cable insertion, reducing installation time and minimizing errors. The splice is prefilled with oxide inhibitor to prevent oxidation and moisture ingress, which is critical for maintaining low-resistance connections over the service life of the installation. The CS61 is constructed from high-conductivity aluminum, offering excellent thermal and electrical properties for efficient power transmission. Its robust design supports large conductors required for commercial service loads, making it an ideal solution for reducing sleeves or splicing service entrance cables. The splice is compatible with standard mechanical and hydraulic compression tools, including the 5/8" die series, ensuring versatility across installation environments. Key applications include service entrance wiring in commercial buildings, industrial facilities, and utility installations where reliable, low-maintenance conductor connections are essential.
