Why Choose the Partex COL240B Copper Tube Butt Connector?
The Partex COL240B is a heavy-duty copper tube butt connector designed to join two compatible 240 mm² copper conductors in a secure, electrically conductive connection. Suitable for professional electrical installations and industrial power distribution applications, this tubular cable connector provides a practical solution for extending, joining or repairing large copper cables without requiring a bolted terminal connection.
Unlike a copper tube ring terminal, which is designed to connect a cable to a stud or busbar, the COL240B butt connector is intended to join two cable ends together. Its tubular copper construction allows appropriately prepared conductors to be inserted from opposite ends and secured using suitable compression crimping equipment. When correctly installed, the resulting connection provides mechanical retention and an effective electrical path between the joined conductors.
With a 240 mm² nominal conductor capacity, the Partex COL240B is particularly useful for large copper power cable joints in industrial electrical systems, distribution equipment and machinery installations. Supplied in a convenient pack of 10 connectors, it offers a practical cable joining solution for electricians, electrical contractors, panel builders and industrial maintenance engineers.

Reliable Copper Cable Joining for Industrial Power Distribution
Copper tube butt connectors provide a practical method of joining two electrical conductors without introducing a separate stud, terminal block or bolted connection point. The Partex COL240B is designed for 240 mm² copper cable connections, allowing suitably prepared conductor ends to be inserted into the connector from opposite directions. Each conductor is then secured using the appropriate compression crimping procedure, creating an inline electrical joint.
The connector's copper construction supports efficient electrical conductivity between the joined cables, while the compression crimping process provides mechanical retention when carried out correctly. This makes the COL240B suitable for applications where a large copper conductor needs to be extended or joined as part of an industrial electrical installation. Its inline configuration can also help maintain a straightforward cable route where a compact cable-to-cable connection is required.
For large conductors such as 240 mm² copper cable, correct conductor preparation, insertion depth, crimping tool selection and die compatibility are essential. The completed joint must also be insulated and protected using a suitable cable jointing system appropriate to the operating voltage, environment and installation requirements. The connector itself should not be treated as a complete insulated cable joint. Cable construction, electrical loading, mechanical support and applicable installation standards must all be considered when selecting and installing the connector.
Typical Applications
- Joining compatible 240 mm² copper power cables.
- Industrial electrical cable extensions.
- Power distribution cable jointing and maintenance.
- Electrical cable repairs where an inline crimped joint is appropriate.
- Industrial machinery and equipment power cable connections.
- Manufacturing facilities and industrial electrical installations.
- Electrical distribution systems requiring cable-to-cable connections.
- Large conductor jointing within suitably designed cable joint assemblies.
- OEM electrical equipment manufacturing and installation.
- Planned electrical maintenance and cable replacement projects.
