Why Choose the Cembre 2489540 BSCL1/0 Colour-Coded Butt Splice?
The Cembre 2489540, also identified as the BSCL1/0, is a premium colour-coded long-barrel butt splice connector designed for permanently joining 50 mm² copper conductors in industrial, commercial and utility electrical installations. Part of the trusted Cembre BSCL series, this non-insulated compression connector provides exceptional electrical conductivity, excellent mechanical strength and dependable long-term performance.
Manufactured from annealed electrolytic copper with a purity greater than 99.9% and finished with electrolytic tin plating, the BSCL1/0 offers outstanding corrosion resistance while maintaining a low-resistance electrical connection. Its extended long-barrel design provides a larger crimping area, helping produce secure and durable cable joints when installed using compatible Cembre compression tooling.
Designed for 50 mm² copper conductors, the connector incorporates tapered conductor entries at both ends together with an integrated central conductor stop to ensure accurate cable positioning before crimping. The pink colour coding enables rapid identification of the correct connector size and matching compression die.
