Egis CableCap Stud Insulator 4-8 AWG Black 2-Pack
Egis CableCap Stud Insulator 4-8 AWG Black 2-Pack — Product description
The Egis CableCap is a molded black insulator that snaps over an exposed stud and cable lug so a dropped wrench or shifting cable can't bridge to ground. Fits 4 to 8 AWG terminations. Cheap insurance for your 12-volt system, sold two to a pack.
The Egis CableCap is a simple piece of insurance for your 12-volt wiring. It's a molded black cap that snaps over an exposed stud and cable lug, so a dropped wrench or a shifting battery cable can't bridge to ground and arc. If you've ever watched a tool slip off a hot post, you know why these matter.
These fit cable terminations in the 4 to 8 AWG range. That's the heavy stuff: starter studs, solenoid posts, alternator output terminals, windlass connections, and battery terminals. Anywhere there's current and bare metal sitting close to the next thing, a CableCap keeps them apart.
They go on in seconds. No rewiring, no tools. You just cap the termination once the lug is bolted down. This is the retail two-pack, so you've got enough for both ends of a run or a pair of posts. It's cheap protection against an expensive short, and it's the kind of thing we'd rather you have on hand than wish you did.
