Overview

The ABB CTS4 Copper Full-Tension Distribution Compression Splice is a high-integrity, copper-based connector engineered for reliable electrical distribution in solid copper wire applications. Designed for #4 AWG solid copper conductors, this splice ensures full-tension mechanical and electrical continuity, meeting the demands of distribution systems where consistent performance is critical. The CTS4 features a 5-1/2 inch length and 3/8 inch diameter, providing ample surface area for secure compression while maintaining compact form factor for installation in tight spaces. Compatible with standard U162, TB, and P dies, the splice delivers uniform compression with industry-standard tooling, eliminating the need for specialized equipment. Its copper construction ensures low resistance and long-term corrosion resistance, making it ideal for outdoor and industrial environments where durability is essential. The full-tension design distributes mechanical stress evenly across the splice, reducing the risk of conductor pull-out or degradation over time. This splice is a direct replacement for traditional compression splices in distribution networks, offering a cost-effective solution without compromising on reliability or performance.
