Why Choose the Partex CEF1618G-K 16 mm² Green Insulated Cord End Ferrule?
The Partex CEF1618G-K is a professional-grade single insulated cord end ferrule designed for terminating flexible stranded copper conductors in industrial electrical installations. Featuring a 16 mm² nominal conductor capacity, an extended 18 mm metal barrel and distinctive green insulation, this bootlace ferrule provides a practical solution for electrical control panels, power distribution equipment and industrial machinery wiring.
As part of the Partex CEF insulated cord end ferrule range, the CEF1618G-K helps consolidate individual conductor strands within a conductive metal sleeve. This supports neat, consistent cable preparation and reduces the risk of loose strands or conductor damage when making connections to compatible electrical terminal blocks.
The green insulated collar provides convenient conductor size identification, while the 18 mm barrel length is suitable for compatible terminals requiring a longer conductor insertion depth. Supplied in a generous pack of 1000, these ferrules are an excellent choice for electrical contractors, industrial panel builders, maintenance engineers and OEM equipment manufacturers undertaking high-volume wiring projects.

Reliable Extended-Barrel Termination for 16 mm² Electrical Conductors
Flexible stranded copper conductors are commonly used in industrial electrical installations because they are easier to route and terminate than rigid conductors in many applications. However, individual strands can separate or become damaged when connected directly to certain electrical terminals. The Partex CEF1618G-K 16 mm² insulated cord end ferrule helps address this by enclosing the stripped conductor strands within a conductive metal sleeve.
During installation, the conductor is stripped to the appropriate length, inserted fully into the ferrule and compressed using a compatible crimping tool. The resulting termination provides a compact conductor end for insertion into a suitable electrical terminal. The 18 mm barrel offers an extended termination length, while the green insulated collar provides a neat transition between the cable insulation and the conductive sleeve.
The Partex CEF1618G-K is particularly useful in electrical distribution cabinets, machinery control systems and industrial panel assemblies where consistent termination quality is important. Correct ferrule selection, crimping and terminal compatibility help achieve secure electrical connections and reliable long-term performance.
