Overview
The ABB Thomas & Betts 54528NS is a Color-Keyed copper two-way splice connector engineered for high-capacity medium-voltage cable splicing in utility, industrial, and commercial power distribution systems. This standard barrel splice accommodates 1000 kcmil conductors and is rated for operation up to 35kV, making it suitable for demanding underground and direct-burial cable splice applications. The tin-plated copper construction ensures excellent conductivity and corrosion resistance over the long service life expected in critical infrastructure installations.
Designed without end stops, the 54528NS allows full conductor insertion and alignment verification during the compression process. Die code 125 compatibility ensures technicians use the correct tooling for a code-compliant, gas-tight compression connection. This connector is part of ABB Thomas & Betts’ industry-trusted Color-Keyed connector family, the standard for medium and high-voltage cable splicing used by utilities and electrical contractors worldwide.
