What J-Link Plus is
Flexible copper connections are used where a rigid busbar or cable arrangement would be awkward, or where movement, vibration and tight geometry need to be accommodated. Teknomega J-Link Plus products use insulated flexible copper braid with factory-finished ends, providing a repeatable connection without cutting cable, selecting separate lugs and crimping them on site.
That can make panel assembly cleaner and reduce variation between installers. It can also help in compact layouts where a cable and lug need more bending space. The available cross-sections and lengths should be selected from the actual current, geometry and terminal requirements rather than from panel appearance alone.

Why DNV certification matters
DNV is an independent classification and assurance organisation whose approvals are widely referenced in maritime and other demanding applications. Certification indicates that the assessed product has met the requirements stated in the relevant approval documentation and test scope.
It is not a blanket approval for every size, installation or vessel. A project team should obtain the current certificate, verify that the exact J-Link Plus part falls within its scope, and confirm any stated conditions of use. The vessel's class rules, equipment standard and customer's specification may add further requirements.
Designing the complete connection
A flexible braid still forms part of a power circuit. Engineers need to check continuous current, temperature rise, short-circuit withstand, insulation rating, terminal dimensions, creepage and clearance, bend radius and mechanical support. The connected equipment's terminals must accept the link without twisting or concentrating stress.
Factory-finished ends reduce one variable, but correct torque and contact-surface preparation remain essential. Installation instructions should be followed, and joints should be accessible for inspection where the maintenance regime requires it. For parallel links, current sharing and symmetrical layout deserve specific review.
