Why Choose the Cembre 8008603 Heavy Duty Copper Tube Terminal?
The Cembre 8008603 is a heavy-duty 2-hole copper compression cable lug designed for terminating 800 mm² copper conductors in high-current industrial and power distribution applications. Also identified as 2A160-2M14, it features a double M14 fixing arrangement and a heavy-duty barrel for maximum electrical conductivity and mechanical strength.
Manufactured from high-purity electrolytic copper with an electro-tin plated finish, the 2A-M heavy-duty series provides excellent corrosion resistance while ensuring dependable long-term performance. Unlike the standard A-2M range, the heavy-duty series incorporates a longer barrel and does not include an inspection hole, helping prevent moisture ingress in outdoor installations.
The Cembre 8008603 is ideal for substations, switchgear, transformer connections, renewable energy installations, utilities and other demanding high-current applications where maximum reliability is essential.
