Why Choose the Cembre 2489520 BSCL4 Colour-Coded Butt Splice?
The Cembre 2489520, also identified as the BSCL4, is a premium colour-coded long-barrel butt splice connector designed for permanently joining copper conductors in industrial, commercial and utility electrical installations. Part of the trusted Cembre BSCL series, this non-insulated compression connector delivers outstanding electrical conductivity together with exceptional mechanical strength for demanding applications.
Manufactured from annealed electrolytic copper with a purity greater than 99.9% and finished with electrolytic tin plating, the BSCL4 provides excellent corrosion resistance and long-term reliability. Its long-barrel construction increases the compression area, producing secure, low-resistance cable joints when installed using compatible Cembre compression tooling.
Designed for 25 mm² copper conductors, the connector features tapered conductor entries at both ends together with an integrated central conductor stop to ensure accurate conductor positioning before crimping. The grey colour coding enables quick identification of the correct connector and die combination during installation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Cembre 2489520 used for?
The BSCL4 is designed to permanently join two compatible 25 mm² copper conductors using compression crimping.
What cable size does the BSCL4 accept?
This connector is designed for 25 mm² copper conductors, approximately equivalent to 4 AWG.
Is the connector insulated?
No. The Cembre BSCL4 is a non-insulated butt splice and should be insulated after installation where required.
Why is the connector tin plated?
The electrolytic tin plating improves corrosion resistance while maintaining excellent electrical conductivity.
Does the connector include a conductor stop?
Yes. The connector incorporates a central stop to ensure both conductors are inserted to the correct depth before crimping.
