Color-Keyed 54930BE – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will this Color Keyed lug take 8 AWG copper cable, and does the red color mean anything?
The Color Keyed long-barrel lug, part 54930BE, is sized for 8 AWG conductors. Red is the color-key for that conductor size, so a crew can confirm at a glance that the lug on the cable is the right one for 8 AWG. It is a copper lug, so it belongs on copper conductors.
2) Is this lug rated for medium-voltage cable terminations?
It carries a 35 kV voltage rating, which covers medium-voltage shielded cable terminations as well as ordinary 600 V panel and switchgear work. It is UL listed under file E9809.
3) Can I use this copper lug on aluminum conductors?
No. The lug is copper, so it is for copper conductors only. Terminating aluminum cable needs an aluminum or AL9CU dual-rated compression lug with the appropriate inhibitor compound.
4) Does this lug come insulated, or do I have to cover the barrel myself?
Bare copper, no insulation on it. Insulation material is listed as none, so if the application needs the barrel covered you add heat shrink or tape as a separate step. For medium-voltage terminations that covering is usually part of the kit, not the lug.
5) Why pick a long-barrel lug over a standard barrel for 8 AWG?
The long barrel gives more crimp length, so you get two crimps instead of one and more contact area between conductor and lug. That matters on vibrating equipment like motor control centers and on higher-voltage terminations where pull-out strength is the concern. For a short run of low-stress control wiring a standard barrel does the same job in less space.
6) Is this a compression lug or a mechanical set-screw lug?
Compression only. It has to be crimped with a die-type compression tool matched to the Color Keyed die index for 8 AWG copper; there is no set screw. If you do not have a compression tool on the truck, you want a mechanical screw-type lug instead.
7) Is Color Keyed the same thing as Blackburn?
Yes. Color Keyed is the sub-brand label and the lug is catalogued under Color Keyed / Blackburn, so a spec or takeoff calling for a Blackburn color-keyed copper compression lug is referring to this line. The part number to order against is 54930BE.
8) Where is this lug made? I have a domestic-content requirement on a federal job.
Country of origin is Mexico. If the project carries a Buy American or domestic-content clause on electrical materials, this part will not satisfy it and you will need a US-made lug for that line item.
