Why Choose the Partex COL70B Copper Tube Butt Connector?
The Partex COL70B is a robust copper tube butt connector designed to join two compatible 70 mm² copper conductors in a secure, permanent electrical connection. Suitable for industrial electrical installations, power distribution systems and cable maintenance, this tubular crimp connector provides a practical solution for extending or repairing copper power cables.
As part of the Partex COL copper tube connector range, the COL70B features a straight tubular construction that allows conductors to be inserted from opposite ends and joined through mechanical crimping. Its copper body provides excellent electrical conductivity, helping maintain a low-resistance connection when correctly installed using compatible crimping equipment.
Designed specifically for 70 mm² copper cable connections, the COL70B is suitable for applications where reliable conductor continuity and mechanical strength are essential. Unlike ring terminals and cable lugs, this butt connector joins two cable ends directly without requiring a bolted fixing point. Supplied in a pack of 30 connectors, it is an economical and convenient choice for electrical contractors, industrial maintenance engineers and panel builders.

Reliable Copper Cable Jointing for Industrial Electrical Systems
Copper tube butt connectors are designed to create continuous electrical connections between two cable ends. The Partex COL70B accommodates compatible 70 mm² copper conductors inserted from opposite ends of its tubular body. Each conductor is secured using a suitable crimping tool, creating a mechanically stable and electrically conductive joint.
The straight-through configuration makes the COL70B particularly useful for cable extensions, repairs and conductor splicing in industrial power distribution and electrical installations. Its compact design enables cables to be joined without introducing additional bolted connection points or terminal hardware.
For dependable performance, conductors should be correctly stripped, inserted and crimped using tooling suitable for the connector and cable construction. Both ends must be properly secured, and the completed joint should be insulated and protected according to the operating voltage, installation environment and applicable electrical standards. Where required, suitable heat-shrink insulation or an approved cable jointing system should be used.
