Burndy Long Barrel Telecom CU Lug 2 Hole 2 AWG

Burndy Long Barrel Telecom CU Lug

The Burndy Long Barrel Telecom CU Lug is a two-hole compression connector built for stranded copper wire at 2 AWG. It carries a brown colour code and die code 10 for quick identification. The straight tongue measures .6 inches wide with holes spaced 1 inch centre to centre. Rated to 35 kV AC and 194 degrees F, it meets CSA Certified, UL 486A-486B and UL Listed standards for commercial electrical installations.

Upgrading from standard barrel connectors

This long-barrel design provides additional crimp length compared with shorter barrels, improving mechanical strength and conductivity on 2 AWG copper conductors. The jump is worthwhile when vibration, thermal cycling or pull-out resistance are concerns in telecom or industrial power circuits. No inspection hole is present, so visual verification of wire insertion must be done before crimping.

Suited for commercial copper terminations

Installers terminating 2 AWG stranded copper to 3/8 inch studs in panel boards, switchgear or telecom infrastructure will find the dimensions and certifications aligned with typical spec sheets. Buyers needing an inspection window, a different stud size, or a connector rated for aluminium conductors should look at alternative lug designs. The 3.500 inch overall length fits standard long-barrel tooling without modification.
