Product Description

Overview

KL-40FPCBN is the brown Santoprene TPV protective cap for a KUPO K-LOK 400 A inline female connector. The cap covers the disconnected interface and stays with the cable through a 297.5 mm lanyard assembly. It continues brown identification onto the protected cable end, while the connector-specific fit supports NEMA 3R protection when correctly seated.

Why It Matters

A 400 A feeder connector is often moved across trucks, cable ramps, outdoor staging areas and distribution points before it is mated. Keeping the female interface covered reduces direct exposure to rain, dust and handling debris. The brown body also carries the cable-identification scheme to the connector end, where crews need it during load-in and strike.

Key Features

  • Female-Connector Fit: Purpose-shaped for the K-LOK 400 A inline female connector rather than used as a generic cable cover.
  • Santoprene TPV Construction: Flexible, durable material rated up to 105 °C tolerates repeated fitting and removal in touring and rental workflows.
  • Tethered Retention: The 297.5 mm lanyard keeps the cap with its cable assembly through setup and strike.
  • Brown Identification: Matches brown-coded sets commonly used in iec-oriented inventories.
  • Listed Performance: UL Enclosure Types 3R environmental rating with HB / UL94 flame class.

Applications

Intended for 400 A feeder cables used in touring power, rental inventories, generator connections, temporary distribution, industrial systems and outdoor event production.

Compatibility

Fits KUPO K-LOK 400 A inline female connectors and compatible cam-type systems with the same interface. It is not interchangeable with the male-connector cap or the smaller 150 A protective-cap family.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why offer a brown protective cap in the 400 A family?

Brown allows IEC-oriented inventories to maintain a consistent visual identifier at the connector end as well as along the cable run.

Is KL-40FPCBN a generic rubber cover?

No. It is a Santoprene TPV cap shaped for the KUPO K-LOK 400 A inline female connector and includes a dedicated tether system.

What prevents the cap from being left at the distribution point?

The lanyard remains attached to the cable assembly, with an adjustable ferrule that is crimped by the installer.

How does it differ from KL-40MPCBN?

Both are brown, but KL-40FPCBN fits the female connector. KL-40MPCBN fits the male connector and has different body dimensions.
