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.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Cembre 2489550 used for?
The BSCL3/0 is designed to permanently join two compatible 95 mm² copper conductors using compression crimping.
What cable size does the BSCL3/0 accept?
This connector is designed for 95 mm² copper conductors, approximately equivalent to 3/0 AWG.
Is the connector insulated?
No. The Cembre BSCL3/0 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 BSCL3/0 uses a die index 16 (orange) and should be installed using a compatible Cembre compression tool and die.
