Product Description
Overview
KL-40FPCY is the yellow 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 remains conspicuous in worksite and festival distribution systems, 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 yellow 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.
- Yellow Identification: Stands out clearly on busy distribution equipment and cable systems.
- 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 choose yellow for a 400 A female-connector cap?
Yellow is highly visible around worksite and event-power equipment, helping crews locate and identify the protected feeder end.
Can the yellow cap be used on a 150 A female connector?
No. KL-40FPCY is sized for the 400 A inline female connector. Use the corresponding KL-15FPC family for 150 A equipment.
Does the cap come off the cable when power is connected?
The cap comes off the connector interface but remains attached to the cable by its lanyard, ready for use after disconnection.
What supports the NEMA 3R protection?
The connector-specific Santoprene TPV profile must be fully seated and in good condition. Correct fit is essential to the intended environmental protection.
