Blackburn C 2000 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What conductor size does the Blackburn C 2000 splice accept?
The C 2000 is sized for 2000 kcmil copper cable, one conductor into each end. It is a two-conductor butt splice, so it joins two cable ends of that size in line, not a tap or a reducing connector. If your run is a smaller kcmil, you need the matching smaller barrel, not this one with a filler.
2) Is the Blackburn C 2000 a crimp splice or a set-screw connector?
Compression only. The C 2000 is a long barrel compression splice, so it needs a hydraulic crimping tool and the correct die for the barrel. There are no set screws and no bolts. If you want a tool-free or wrench-only connection on 2000 kcmil, you want a mechanical set-screw splice instead.
3) Will the Blackburn C 2000 fit inside my pull box or splice enclosure?
Plan on 7.062 inches of barrel length, plus whatever bend radius the 2000 kcmil cable needs on each side and clearance for the crimp head to get around the barrel. On tight retrofits in existing boxes that crimp-head swing is usually what runs out first, not the barrel length.
4) Is the C 2000 copper splice tin-plated, and can I use it on aluminum cable?
The barrel is copper with a tin-plated finish, which is what the TPCU designation means. Tin plating slows oxidation on the copper. It is a copper connector, so use it on copper conductors; aluminum or copper-to-aluminum transitions call for a connector rated for that service, not this one.
5) Why choose a long barrel splice over a standard barrel on large cable?
A long barrel gives room for multiple crimps per side, which is what large conductors like 2000 kcmil need to develop full pull-out strength. The trade-off is length: the C 2000 measures 7.062 inches overall, so you have to confirm you have that much straight run inside the pull box, manhole, or gutter before you commit to it.
6) Does the Blackburn C 2000 come insulated or do I have to tape and cover it myself?
It ships bare, with no insulation on the barrel. Insulating the completed splice is on you: heat shrink tubing, a cold shrink sleeve, or tape and resin per your spec and voltage class.
7) Is the Blackburn C 2000 made in the USA for a Buy American job?
Country of origin is listed as the United States, which is the line item a government, school district, or federally funded project submittal usually asks for.
8) Is the Blackburn C 2000 splice sold individually or in a box?
Each. One splice per selling unit, so order one per cable joint, and remember a three-phase run with a neutral needs four.
