Blackburn FBF12 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size and length is the Blackburn FBF12 flexible braid?
The FBF12 is a 230.4 kcmil flexible copper braid, 12 inches long. Length is the overall cable length, so plan your bond path with that 12 inches in mind before ordering; there's no field-lengthening a braid.
2) How does the FBF12 terminate, and do I need separate lugs?
No separate lugs needed. The FBF12 is a 2-hole flexible braid connector, meaning the braid comes with pads at each end prepared for two-hole bolted terminations. You supply the bolts, nuts, and washers to match the equipment pad, plus any required antioxidant if you're landing on aluminum bus.
3) Is the FBF12 braid flat or round, and does that matter for where it mounts?
Flat. The FBF12 is a flat, flexible copper conductor rather than a round cable, so it lies tight against flat bonding surfaces like switchgear frames, bus stabs, and equipment enclosures and takes repeated flexing without the bulk of a round jumper.
4) Is a flexible copper braid the right choice instead of a solid bonding jumper?
Use a braid like the FBF12 where the two bonded points move relative to each other, thermal expansion in a bus run, seismic movement, vibration from rotating equipment, or a drawout breaker connection. A rigid bar or a stiff cable jumper transmits that movement into the bolted joint. Where nothing moves, a solid jumper is the simpler install.
5) Is the FBF12 braid made in the USA for a Buy American project?
Country of origin on the FBF12 is the United States. That's the documented origin for federally funded and Buy American specified work; project submittals typically want the manufacturer's own certificate, which Blackburn issues against the part number FBF12.
6) Is the Blackburn FBF12 sold individually or in a pack?
Individually. The FBF12 is sold each, so order one braid per bonding point. On a multi-section gear lineup, count the joints, not the sections.
7) What is the Blackburn part number I should put on my order for a 12 inch, 230.4 kcmil braid?
Blackburn FBF12. That one number covers the 230.4 kcmil flat copper braid at 12 inch length with two-hole ends; there are no finish or size options to specify on it.
