3mm copper sleeves – code: 04.569.03 – Osculati

Copper sleeves for metal cables Ø 3 mm (Osculati 04.569.03)

I copper sleeves Osculati are accessories designed for creating terminals on metal cables in nautical and onboard system applications. This item, identified by the supplier code 04.569.03, is suitable for cable Ø 3 mm and is used in combination with a dedicated plier for crimping/pressing, to achieve a neat and functional connection.

On deck and in the technical areas of the boat, attention to detail makes the difference: a well-executed terminal helps keep the installation clean, facilitates maintenance operations, and helps manage cable routing more practically. These sleeves are a traditional and widespread solution for those who need to create eye terminals on metal cables, following the correct assembly procedures.

Product features and details

Material: copper

The coupling is made of copper, material commonly used for this type of accessory due to its workability during pressing. The choice of copper is typical in applications where controlled deformation of the component during crimping is required, with the aim of achieving a stable grip on the cable.

Supported cable diameter

The product is specified for cable Ø 3 mm. For a correct result, it is important to respect the correspondence between the cable diameter and the sleeve: an unsuitable match can make pressing more difficult or compromise the quality of the terminal.

Use with dedicated pliers

These sleeves are to be used with a dedicated plier to create eye terminals on metal cables. The plier (or equivalent equipment) allows applying the necessary pressure in a controlled way, helping to achieve uniform deformation of the sleeve.

Typical applications in the nautical field

In the category deck equipment and related accessories, copper sleeves are used whenever it is necessary to prepare or restore a section of metal cable with an eye terminal. In particular, they are useful in contexts where the cable must be fixed, constrained, or connected to an anchoring point through a properly made loop/eye.

Maintenance and restoration

During routine or extraordinary maintenance interventions, it may be necessary to remake a terminal, shorten a cable, or replace a damaged part. Having sleeves of the correct size available allows for more continuous operational intervention, following the prescribed procedures and using the appropriate equipment.

Outfittings and installations

During outfitting, refitting, or installation of deck components, making terminals on metal cables is a recurring operation. The copper sleeve is a simple but essential component to complete the job neatly, especially when an eye terminal executed by pressing is desired.

Operational advantages

Using copper sleeves of the correct size offers practical advantages related to work management and assembly quality.

Practical solution for eye terminals

The sleeve is specifically designed for the creation of eye terminals on metal cables: a functional and widespread format in many onboard applications, where it is useful to have a loop connection point.

Neat and repeatable installation

With suitable pliers and a correct procedure, pressing allows replicating the process consistently, facilitating the standardization of interventions on multiple cables or multiple points of the system.

Essential component in technical equipment

For those working on boats, inflatables, or onboard systems, sleeves represent a small spare part that can prove useful in various situations: from preparing a new cable to restoring an existing terminal.

Usage and important notes

Dimensional compatibility check

This model is suitable for cable Ø 3 mm. Before use, check that the diameter of the metal cable matches the specified size and that the sleeve is suitable for the type of work intended.

Use with appropriate equipment

The product is designed to be used with dedicated pliers. The use of unsuitable tools can lead to uneven crimping. For a correct result, follow the instructions of the equipment used and good practices for working with metal cables.

Good working practices

• Prepare the cable cleanly and evenly before crimping.
• Correctly position the sleeve according to the eye terminal you want to create.
• Perform the crimping following a consistent and controlled procedure.
• At the end, carry out a visual check of the tightening and alignment of the terminal.
