Product Description
Overview
KL-15MPCBK is the black protective cap for a KUPO K-LOK 150 A inline male connector. Molded from Santoprene TPV and retained by an adjustable lanyard, it covers the exposed end of a 150 A inline male connector while it is disconnected without adding a bright visual element to a dark cable assembly.
Why It Matters
The exposed male interface is vulnerable when black touring feeder is coiled, trucked or staged beside distribution equipment. A tethered cap covers that contact end during unpowered periods while preserving the low-visibility appearance expected around stages and broadcast sets.
Key Features
- Connector-Specific Fit: Purpose-shaped for the K-LOK 150 A inline male connector rather than used as a generic cable-end cover.
- Santoprene TPV Construction: Flexible, durable material rated up to 105 °C tolerates repeated fitting and removal in touring and rental workflows.
- Tethered Handling: The lanyard keeps the protective cap with its cable assembly through setup, operation and strike.
- Black Identification: Keeps the cap visually restrained on black cable assemblies and stage-side power runs.
- Listed Performance: UL Enclosure Types 3R environmental rating with HB / UL94 flame class.
Applications
Intended for touring power looms, rental cable inventories, temporary distribution and fixed-installation service leads using KUPO K-LOK 150 A inline male connectors. The black finish keeps the cap visually restrained on black cable assemblies and stage-side power runs.
Compatibility
Fits KUPO K-LOK 150 A inline male connectors and is designed to complement compatible cam-type connector systems. It is shaped specifically for the 150 A inline male connector and should not be substituted for the female-cap profile. Correct seating supports NEMA 3R environmental protection while the connector is not in service.
