Egis CableCap Stud Insulator 2/0-2 AWG Black
Egis CableCap Stud Insulator 2/0-2 AWG Black — Product description
The Egis CableCap is a simple insulating boot that slips over an exposed terminal stud and keeps it from shorting out. It fits cable lugs from 2/0 down to 2 AWG, so it works on starters, solenoids, alternators, generators, and battery posts. Black, molded, and sold as a retail pack ready to grab off the peg.
Anywhere you've got an exposed power stud, you've got a short waiting to happen. A dropped wrench, a loose battery cable, a bit of rigging that swings into the wrong spot, and suddenly you're chasing a melted terminal. The Egis CableCap stud insulator is the cheap fix. It's a molded boot that slips right over the stud and the lug, covering the live connection so nothing accidental can bridge it.
It's sized for heavy cable, 2/0 all the way down to 2 AWG, which is the gauge you'll find on starters, solenoids, alternators, generators, and main battery terminals. That's the stuff that carries real current, so it's exactly where you want the protection. The cap is black and flexible, and it stays put once it's on.
This is the retail pack, so it comes carded and ready to hang on a peg or toss in the parts drawer. Good to keep a few on hand. When you're rigging a new install or cleaning up an old one, having the right insulator on the shelf beats taping over a stud and hoping.
