Product Description

Overview

The KUPO KM16H5 is the closed side-outlet hood for the KM16 Multi-Pin connector system. It routes the cable out the side of a completed connector assembly while protecting the insert, housing, and cable entry hardware in touring, rental, event, and industrial use.

Why It Matters

Cable exit direction is not a cosmetic choice. A side-outlet hood helps the assembled connector sit cleanly against racks, panels, cases, or equipment, reducing cable strain and making the finished assembly easier to dress and service.

Key Features

  • Closed side-outlet hood for KUPO KM16 Multi-Pin connector assemblies
  • PG21 cable gland / hood reference for the 16-pin family
  • Aluminum die-casting alloy construction protects the connector body during repeated handling
  • Neoprene gasket resists oil and aging around the assembled connector interface
  • Nylon 66 V-0 pressing lock-nut and zinc-plated steel locking levers support secure assembly

Applications

Use it for building or repairing multi-pin cable assemblies where cable exit direction, strain relief, and connector protection matter in touring, venue, rental, and industrial workflows.

Compatibility

Use with matching KM16 housings and 16-pin plug or socket inserts. Select side-outlet, closed style, and PG21 cable gland reference according to cable direction, available space, and the complete connector assembly plan.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why use a side-outlet hood?

Use a side-outlet hood when the cable needs to leave the connector laterally, such as near rack sides, panels, or tight equipment edges.

What does the closed hood style change?

The closed style is selected when the assembly layout calls for that enclosed hood configuration rather than the standard hood.

Is the PG21 reference different between KM10 and KM16?

Yes. KM10 hoods use the PG16 reference, while KM16 hoods use PG21. This KM16 hood uses PG21.
