Blackburn FBCRL – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Blackburn FBCRL flexible braid sold by the foot or as a full roll?
The FBCRL is priced and sold by the foot, so you order the exact run length you need off the roll rather than a fixed pre-cut piece. Order the total footage for all your bonding jumpers in one line item.
2) What size conductor is the Blackburn FBCRL braid equivalent to?
FBCRL is 48 kcmil flexible braid. Use that figure when you are sizing a bonding jumper or equipment ground against a table value in kcmil, rather than trying to match it to an AWG stranded cable by eye.
3) Why use flexible braid instead of a solid or stranded bonding jumper?
Flat flexible braid is the choice where the two bonded points move relative to each other, such as across expansion joints, on vibrating equipment, transformer and switchgear connections, or hinged enclosure doors. A solid or stiff stranded jumper work-hardens and eventually cracks in that service. The FBCRL is a flexible, flat conductor made for exactly those moving or vibrating bonds.
4) Does the Blackburn FBCRL braid come with terminals already attached?
No. FBCRL is bulk braid off the roll, cut to your footage. Terminated 2-hole braid connectors are a separate part number, so if you need pre-made jumpers with lugs on both ends you should order those instead of the roll.
5) Is the Blackburn FBCRL braid copper, and is it plated?
The conductor is tin-plated copper. The tin plating is what you want on outdoor, damp, or corrosive-atmosphere bonding, and it also keeps the braid from galling against aluminum or galvanized surfaces the way bare copper can.
6) Is the Blackburn FBCRL braid made in the USA for a Buy American job?
Country of origin on the FBCRL braid is the United States, which is the line a federal, state, or transit project submittal is usually asking about. Cite it with the Blackburn part number on your material list.
7) Can flat braid be run under a bolted 2-hole pad connection?
Yes, and the flat profile is an advantage there. Flat braid seats against a flat bus or pad with more contact area than a round conductor and does not need to be crushed into shape, which is why it pairs with 2-hole bolted braid connectors. Keep the bolt pattern and hole spacing matched to whatever lug or pad you are landing on.
