FAQ
What devices is this Eaton splitter cable compatible with?
The Eaton CBL148 is specifically designed for compatibility with Eaton Powerware ePDU (electronic Power Distribution Unit) systems. It is not intended for use with standard wall outlets or non-Eaton PDUs unless explicitly verified for electrical and mechanical compatibility.
What voltage and current ratings does this cable support?
This power splitter cable is rated for both 120V and 240V AC operation with a maximum current capacity of 16 amps. The dual-voltage design provides flexibility for different power infrastructure setups commonly found in data centers and commercial installations.
How many devices can I connect with this splitter cable?
The cable provides two NEMA L5-20R output connectors, allowing you to connect two separate devices to a single PDU input port. Each output supports the full 16A rating when used within the specified voltage parameters.
What are the connector types on this Eaton cable?
The input end features a single NEMA L14-20P twist-lock plug, a 4-pin connector used for 120/240V applications. The output end provides two NEMA L5-20R twist-lock receptacles, which are 3-pin connectors typically used for 120V devices. Both connector types use twist-lock mechanisms for secure connections.
Is this cable suitable for rack-mounted installations?
Yes, the Eaton CBL148 is designed for use in rack-mounted environments where Eaton Powerware ePDUs are deployed.
