Non Tension Transition Links

This range of transition joints are designed to act as reducing links for aluminium to aluminium or aluminium to copper (when sealed correctly). CABNT Links are manufactured from solid 99.6% pure electrical grade aluminium rod. The forging process during rod manufacture eliminates any imperfections in the metal structure. This improves the long term electrical reliability.

The Links are a barrier type, mainly because this forces jointing compound back along the conductor strands during crimping, and also to act as a barrier link with oil filled cables etc.

The barrels are chemically treated to reduce contact resistance, and they are filled with jointing compound and capped. The links should be crimped with standard hexagonal dies, crimping from the knurl outwards to force jointing compound into the conductors.
