Product Features
Product Overview
The Eaton CBL149 is a heavy-duty power splitter cable engineered for reliable power distribution in commercial, industrial, and data center environments. This cable converts a single high-capacity NEMA L21-30P power source into three standard NEMA L5-30R outlets, enabling you to power multiple devices from one dedicated circuit.
Built to Eaton's rigorous standards, this splitter cord supports both 110 V AC and 220 V AC operation with a 24 A current rating, making it a versatile solution for equipment requiring different voltage inputs. Its robust construction ensures safe power delivery for critical loads, helping to maintain operational continuity.
Technical Overview
This power splitter cable features a NEMA L21-30P connector on the input end, designed to plug into compatible power sources commonly found in three-phase commercial installations. The output end terminates in three NEMA L5-30R receptacles, each capable of delivering power to standard equipment plugs.
The cable is rated for 110 V AC and 220 V AC operation, providing flexibility for use with equipment designed for either voltage standard. Its 24 A current rating ensures it can handle substantial power loads without overheating or voltage drop, supporting continuous operation of connected devices.

FAQ
What types of equipment can I power with this splitter cable?
The Eaton CBL149 power splitter cable is designed for equipment that uses standard NEMA L5-30R plugs and operates at either 110 V AC or 220 V AC. This includes many commercial servers, networking devices, industrial tools, test equipment, and other devices requiring up to 24 A current. Always verify your equipment's voltage and current requirements match the cable's 110/220 V AC and 24 A ratings before connection.
Can this cable handle both 110V and 220V equipment simultaneously?
The cable itself is rated for both 110 V AC and 220 V AC operation, but all connected equipment must operate at the same voltage supplied by the power source. The input power source determines the voltage—if connected to a 110 V AC source, all three outlets deliver 110 V AC; if connected to a 220 V AC source, all outlets deliver 220 V AC. You cannot mix different voltage equipment on the same cable simultaneously.
What is the maximum total load this splitter cable can support?
The Eaton CBL149 has a 24 A current rating, which represents the maximum total current all three outlets combined can safely deliver. At 110 V AC, this equals approximately 2,640 watts (110V × 24A). At 220 V AC, it equals approximately 5,280 watts (220V × 24A). The total load across all three connected devices must not exceed these limits to ensure safe operation and prevent overheating.
Where is this power splitter cable typically installed?
This cable is commonly used in commercial, industrial, and data center environments where three-phase power distribution is available. Typical installations include connecting to power distribution units (PDUs), uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), or dedicated circuits in server racks, equipment rooms, manufacturing floors, workshops, and testing facilities. It's designed for stationary use in controlled environments rather than portable applications.
What safety considerations should I keep in mind when using this cable?
Ensure the input power source matches the cable's voltage rating (110 V AC or 220 V AC) and has adequate circuit protection for the 24 A load. Verify all connected equipment uses NEMA L5-30R plugs and operates within the cable's current limits. Do not overload the cable beyond its 24 A rating, and avoid using extension cords or additional splitters that could create fire hazards. The cable should be installed in well-ventilated areas and protected from physical damage.
How does this splitter cable compare to using multiple individual power cords?
The Eaton CBL149 provides a more organized and efficient solution than multiple individual cords. It reduces cable clutter by consolidating three power connections into one input cable, simplifies installation by requiring only one power source connection, and ensures proper load distribution across a single circuit. This approach is particularly beneficial in rack-mounted environments where space is limited and cable management is critical for airflow and maintenance access.
