Why Choose the Cembre 2489545 BSCL2/0 Colour-Coded Butt Splice?
The Cembre 2489545, also identified as the BSCL2/0, is a premium colour-coded long-barrel butt splice connector designed for permanently joining 70 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, high mechanical strength and long-term reliability.
Manufactured from annealed electrolytic copper with a purity greater than 99.95% and finished with electrolytic tin plating, the BSCL2/0 provides exceptional corrosion resistance while maintaining a low-resistance electrical connection. Its extended long-barrel design increases the crimping area, producing secure and durable cable joints when installed using compatible Cembre compression tooling.
Designed for 70 mm² copper conductors, the connector incorporates tapered conductor entries at both ends together with an integrated central conductor stop for accurate conductor positioning before crimping. The black colour coding enables rapid identification of the correct connector size and corresponding compression die.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Cembre 2489545 used for?
The BSCL2/0 is designed to permanently join two compatible 70 mm² copper conductors using compression crimping.
What cable size does the BSCL2/0 accept?
This connector is designed for 70 mm² copper conductors, approximately equivalent to 2/0 AWG.
Is the connector insulated?
No. The Cembre BSCL2/0 is a non-insulated butt splice and should be insulated after installation using a suitable insulation method.
Why is the connector tin plated?
The electrolytic tin plating improves corrosion resistance while maintaining excellent electrical conductivity throughout the service life of the connector.
Which crimping die is required?
The BSCL2/0 uses a die index 14 and should be installed using a compatible Cembre compression tool and die.
