Blackburn CU10 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size does the Blackburn CU10 compression splice take?
The Blackburn CU10 is sized for 1/0 stranded copper conductor, and it is a straight splice (conductor in each end of the barrel). The pink color code on the barrel is the die/size identifier crews use to confirm they grabbed the right connector and the matching die set before crimping.
2) Can I use the Blackburn CU10 splice on aluminum conductor?
No. The CU10 is a copper-only compression splice, made of copper and tin plated. Joining aluminum with it is a material mismatch; for aluminum or for an aluminum-to-copper transition you need a connector rated AL9CU or an aluminum-bodied splice.
3) What voltage is the Blackburn CU10 long barrel splice rated for?
35 kV. That covers medium-voltage feeder and URD splicing as well as anything at 600 V or below, so the same connector works for building service work and for utility-class cable, provided the insulation or splice kit over it is rated for the circuit.
4) Why choose a long barrel splice instead of a standard barrel one?
A long barrel gives room for two crimps per conductor end rather than one, which is what most medium-voltage and high-pull applications call for. The CU10 is the long barrel version, so it suits direct-buried, duct, and feeder splices where mechanical pull-out matters. If you only need a short-barrel single-crimp joint in a panel, a standard barrel splice is the smaller, easier fit.
5) Does the tin plating on the Blackburn CU10 matter for underground or damp installs?
Yes. Tin plating over the copper barrel slows corrosion at the connection, which is the usual failure point in a manhole, vault, or direct-buried splice. It also keeps the bore clean in storage so the conductor seats without scraping oxide off first.
6) Is the Blackburn CU10 sold individually or in a bag?
The CU10 is sold each, so you order the exact splice count the job needs rather than a fixed carton. Remember a straight splice consumes one connector per joint, not one per conductor end.
7) What is the manufacturer part number and country of origin for this Blackburn copper splice?
Part number CU10, from Blackburn, manufactured in Mexico. Distributors cross-referencing a bid line should quote CU10 as the catalog number for the 1/0 stranded copper long barrel splice.
