Blackburn FB2XD12-1 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What exactly is the Blackburn FB2XD12-1 flexible braid connector, and what is it used for?
The FB2XD12-1 is a flexible copper braid bonding jumper with a single bolt hole at the termination. The conductor is flat rather than round and it's built to flex, so it's used where two pieces of equipment need to stay electrically bonded but move or vibrate relative to each other, or where a rigid conductor would not bend into place. It is sold each.
2) How long is the Blackburn FB2XD12-1 braid jumper?
The braid measures 12 inches. That length sets how far apart the two bonding points can be, so measure your bolt-hole to bolt-hole span before ordering, and leave some slack rather than stretching the braid tight if the equipment moves.
3) Does the Blackburn FB2XD12-1 have one hole or two at each end?
It's a 1-hole configuration, so each termination takes a single bolt. If your equipment pad is drilled two-hole (NEMA spacing) and the spec calls for two-hole bolting to resist rotation, you need a two-hole braid instead of this one.
4) Is the FB2XD12-1 braid copper or aluminum?
Copper. That matters on the termination side: for bonding to copper bus or copper lugs it's a like-metal connection, while any contact with aluminum needs the usual dissimilar-metal precautions at the joint.
5) Should I use a flexible braid jumper or a standard stranded bonding conductor?
Use the flat flexible braid when the connection has to move, vibrate, or be pulled apart for service, such as across a hinged enclosure door, a bus joint with thermal movement, or equipment on isolators. A stranded bonding conductor is fine where both ends are fixed and nothing moves. The braid's flat profile also sits tighter to a surface than round cable where clearance is limited.
6) What part number do I order for this 12 inch Blackburn braid jumper?
Order Blackburn part FB2XD12-1. That single MPN covers the 12 inch flat copper braid with 1-hole terminations, and it's ordered as individual pieces rather than by the pack.
7) Is the Blackburn FB2XD12-1 made in the USA?
Country of origin is the United States, which is what institutional and government buyers typically need confirmed for domestic-preference procurement on electrical bonding material.
