Egis 4228 CableCap Stud Insulator 2/0-2 AWG Red
Egis 4228 CableCap Stud Insulator 2/0-2 AWG Red — Product description
The Egis 4228 CableCap is a molded red stud insulator that slips over a heavy cable termination and shields it from accidental shorts. Sized for 2/0 to 2 AWG, it's at home on starters, solenoids, generators, windlasses, and battery terminals.
The Egis 4228 CableCap is a simple piece of gear that saves you a lot of grief. It's a molded red boot that slips over a cable stud and shields the termination from accidental shorts or incidental contact. If you've ever had a wrench bridge a hot stud and a ground, you know exactly why these matter.
It's sized for heavy cable, 2/0 down to 2 AWG, so it's at home on the big connections. Starters, solenoids, generators, windlasses, and battery terminals. Anywhere you've got an exposed stud carrying real current, a CableCap keeps it covered and keeps curious fingers and dropped tools out of trouble.
This is the red retail pack, so the color codes it to your positive side at a glance. Rig it up during your next battery or windlass install and you won't think about it again. That's the point. Quiet protection that just does its job.

Frequently asked questions
What wire sizes does the Egis 4228 CableCap fit?
It's sized for heavy cable from 2/0 down to 2 AWG, so it fits the big terminations on starters, solenoids, generators, windlasses, and battery studs.
What does a stud insulator actually do?
It slips over an exposed cable stud and shields the termination, so a dropped wrench or a stray cable can't bridge a live stud and cause a short.
Why is this one red?
The red color codes it to your positive connections. On a dual-stud setup you can tell positive from ground at a glance, which cuts down on wiring mistakes.
Where would I use the CableCap on my boat?
Anywhere you've got an exposed stud carrying real current. Common spots are the starter, solenoid, generator, windlass, and battery terminals.
