Copper round (RCU) ferrules are not to be used in lifting applications. The expected strength is approximately 50% of the MBL (minimum breaking load).
The RCU end stop is a round ferrule made of pure Copper (almost 99,9%).
Round copper ferrules are used as end stops or stoppers for wire rope. Copper as a stopper goes together with stainless steel wire rope and avoids galvanic corrosion in salty environments.
The same types of dies as for T ferrules can be used.
Find Copper Round RCU Ferrules on page 59 of the Bridco Catalogue (PDF).
