Blackburn CU1000 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Blackburn CU1000 splice a compression connector or a mechanical set-screw type?
The CU1000 is a compression splice, meaning it's crimped onto the conductors with a die tool rather than tightened with set screws. Barrel is copper, tin plated. If your crew doesn't carry a hydraulic or battery crimper with the matching die, a mechanical set-screw splice is the better call for that job.
2) What voltage can the Blackburn CU1000 copper splice be used on?
Rated to 35 kV, so it covers medium-voltage feeder and URD splicing as well as anything at 600 V or below. It's also UL listed under file E9809.
3) Can I use the Blackburn CU1000 splice on aluminum conductor?
No. The CU1000 is a copper-bodied splice for copper conductor. For aluminum or an aluminum-to-copper transition you need a dual-rated AL9CU connector instead. The tin plating on this barrel is for corrosion resistance, not for making it bimetallic.
4) Why would I pick a long barrel splice over a standard barrel?
A long barrel gives you more crimp length, which means more crimps per side and more mechanical holding strength on the conductor. That matters on vertical runs, pulled cable, and medium-voltage work where the splice takes tension. The CU1000 is the long barrel version.
5) Is the CU1000 splice UL listed for a job that requires listed connectors?
Yes, it carries UL listing under file E9809, which is what an inspector or a spec calling for listed compression connectors is looking for. Country of origin is Mexico.
6) Does the Blackburn CU1000 come as a single piece or in a box quantity?
Sold each. One CU1000 splice per unit ordered, so order one per splice point rather than assuming a bagged quantity.
7) What is the part number to order this Blackburn splice by?
Order it as Blackburn CU1000. That's the manufacturer part number for the tin plated long barrel copper compression splice.
8) Does the tin plating on this splice matter for underground or damp locations?
It helps. The tin plating over the copper barrel resists oxidation, which is what you want in a handhole, a wet vault, or direct-burial splice work. You still need the appropriate insulating or sealing system over the splice; the connector itself is bare metal.
