Neutrik adds 16mm cable diameter model to powerCON power connectors
New design features in the TOP-L power connector series accept cable diameters up to 16mm. Neutrik has added the powerCON True1 TOP-L to its powerCON True1 Top range of heavy duty, sealed power connectors. They are designed for outdoor use in harsh environments and demanding applications, says Neutrik. The powerCON True1 TOP-L connector is compatible with the largest diameter power cables required for outdoor event and production applications. The connector is capable of accepting cable from 10 to 16mm (0.39 to 0.63 inch) diameter, making them suitable for extra heavy duty type cables.
The connectors are certified to EN 60320-1, IEC 60320-1, and UL 60320-1 when applied to appropriate cables (H07RN-F3G2.5 and SOOW 12/3, SJOOW 12/3). This allows mains cables to be assembled in accordance with UL 817, CSA C22.2 No. 21, and IEC/EN 60799.
The connector conforms to Neutrik’s TOP standard, UL V0 and UL-F1-rated UV resistant materials. The company says component quality and rugged construction are standard.
Features include breaking capability of CBC at 16A 250V AC VDE (20A 250V AC) with a patent pending design that prevent disassembly by hand. New HTLACA and HTLACB assembly and disassembly tools are designed for use with these connectors and facilitate faster disassembly for periodic safety testing.
The company claims the powerCON True1 TOP series is the most versatile power connector with a cable diameter capability of 16mm. It is also claimed to be the only power connector series with a product certified for 2.5mm2 H07RN-F and AGE 12/3 SOOW and SJOOW cables.
The Neutrik TOP (True Outdoor Protection) standard covers a range of sealed power, signal and data connectors for outdoor event and production applications in the most adverse climatic and environmental conditions. The portfolio is suitable for audio visual, public address, lighting, signage and LED screens. The TOP series extends across the NEUTRIK powerCON True1, etherCON and XLR product ranges, with IP65 rating and certified outdoor protection to UL 50E like UV resistance.
