Why Choose the Cembre 2489550 BSCL3/0 Colour-Coded Butt Splice?
The Cembre 2489550, also identified as the BSCL3/0, is a premium colour-coded long-barrel butt splice connector designed for permanently joining 95 mm² copper conductors in industrial, commercial and utility electrical installations. As part of the trusted Cembre BSCL series, this non-insulated compression connector delivers excellent electrical conductivity, outstanding mechanical strength and dependable long-term performance.
Manufactured from annealed electrolytic copper with a purity greater than 99.95% and finished with electrolytic tin plating, the BSCL3/0 provides excellent corrosion resistance while maintaining a low-resistance electrical connection. The long-barrel construction increases the crimping area, creating secure and durable cable joints when installed using compatible Cembre compression tooling.
Designed for 95 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 orange colour coding enables rapid identification of the correct connector size and matching compression die.
