Product Description
Overview
KL-40MPCO is the orange Santoprene TPV protective cap for a KUPO K-LOK 400 A inline male connector. It covers the exposed connector interface while the cable is disconnected and remains attached through a 299 mm lanyard assembly. The orange body is a distinct choice for auxiliary or special-use feeder sets, while the dedicated fit supports NEMA 3R protection when correctly seated.
Why It Matters
The male end of a 400 A feeder remains exposed whenever a run is broken down, staged or moved between distribution points. A connector-specific cap helps keep rain, dust and handling debris away from that interface without becoming a loose accessory. The orange finish also carries the cable-identification plan to the point crews handle first.
Key Features
- Male-Connector Fit: Purpose-shaped for the K-LOK 400 A inline male 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 299 mm lanyard keeps the cap with its cable assembly through setup, operation and strike.
- Orange Identification: Distinguishes special-use circuits when common phase colors are already allocated.
- 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 male connectors and compatible cam-type systems with the same interface. It is not interchangeable with the female-connector cap or the smaller 150 A protective-cap family.
Frequently Asked Questions
When is the orange protective cap useful?
Orange can mark auxiliary, special-use or destination-based feeder cables without duplicating a common phase color.
Does KL-40MPCO share the other colors' dimensions?
Yes. All nine KL-40MPC colors use the same 67 mm cap length, 37.5 mm outer diameter and 27 mm inner diameter.
How is the lanyard attached?
The 299 mm assembly uses a 25.4 mm ring and an adjustable ferrule that is crimped by the installer.
Is it interchangeable with KL-40FPCO?
No. KL-40MPCO fits the male connector, while KL-40FPCO is shaped for the female connector.
