Why Choose the Partex CEF618G-K Black Insulated Cord End Ferrule?
The Partex CEF618G-K is a professional-quality 6 mm² single insulated cord end ferrule designed to provide neat, secure and consistent terminations for stranded electrical conductors. Featuring an 18 mm metal barrel and black insulating collar, this ferrule is suitable for industrial control panels, electrical distribution equipment, machinery wiring and professional cable assembly applications.
Designed for 6 mm² stranded copper conductors, the ferrule helps contain individual wire strands when connecting cables to compatible terminal blocks and electrical connection points. Its metal barrel is crimped around the stripped conductor to form a compact, uniform termination, while the insulating collar helps guide the conductor into the ferrule and provides a neat transition between the cable insulation and the crimped barrel.
The 18 mm barrel length makes this ferrule particularly useful for compatible electrical terminals requiring a longer conductor insertion depth. Supplied in a convenient pack of 1,000 ferrules, the Partex CEF618G-K is an excellent choice for electrical panel builders, industrial automation engineers, OEM equipment manufacturers and maintenance professionals who regularly prepare 6 mm² stranded cables.

Reliable 6 mm² Cable Termination with an Extended 18 mm Barrel
Stranded electrical conductors are widely used in industrial control panels, machinery and electrical distribution assemblies because they offer flexibility and ease of installation. However, individual strands can separate when the conductor is stripped and inserted into a terminal. The Partex CEF618G-K insulated cord end ferrule helps keep these strands together, providing a uniform conductor end for connection to compatible electrical terminals.
The 18 mm metal barrel offers a longer termination than standard short-barrel ferrules, making it suitable for electrical terminals designed to accommodate an extended ferrule insertion length. The black insulating collar provides a visible identification feature and helps guide the conductor into the barrel during cable preparation. The correct barrel length should always be selected according to the receiving terminal's design and installation requirements.
For reliable installation, strip the conductor to the appropriate length, insert all strands fully into the ferrule and crimp using a suitable tool and die for 6 mm² insulated cord end ferrules. Confirm that the completed ferrule is compatible with the receiving terminal's conductor capacity, insertion depth and manufacturer's instructions. Ferrule colour conventions can vary between manufacturers and standards, so the conductor cross-section should always be verified rather than relying on collar colour alone.
