Overview

The ABB Type CU Copper Splice (SKU: CU2) is a long-barrel, tin-plated copper splice designed for high-voltage applications up to 35kV. With a 1-3/4 inch length and compatibility with 2-strand wire, this splice ensures reliable electrical connections in medium-voltage systems. The brown die color code provides quick identification during installation and maintenance. Engineered for medium-voltage power distribution, the CU2 splice is ideal for splicing two copper conductors in industrial, utility, and commercial installations. Its long barrel design enhances mechanical strength and electrical conductivity, reducing the risk of joint failure under load. The tin plating offers corrosion resistance, extending service life in harsh environments. This splice is part of ABB’s Installation Products line, a trusted manufacturer of electrical components. The CU2 is suitable for applications where voltage stability and long-term reliability are critical, such as substations, switchgear, and cable termination systems. For optimal performance, ensure proper crimping tools and techniques are used during installation.
