About the 25' 600V Cable w/ Hubbell CS-6364C Twist-Lock Connector to Bare End Tails
This assembly is a heavy-duty 25-foot feeder cable designed for the safe and reliable distribution of high-amperage, three-phase AC power in professional production, entertainment lighting, and industrial temporary power applications. The cable is terminated on one end with a Hubbell CS-6364C female twist-lock connector, a robust, industry-standard pin and sleeve connector known for its secure locking mechanism and high visibility orange color. The opposite end of the cable is prepared with bare wire tails, where the individual insulated conductors—typically the three phase lines, neutral, and equipment ground—are stripped and ready for direct termination into a terminal block, lugs, or a downstream distribution panel. This configuration is specifically engineered to create a secure, flexible link between a portable power source, such as a company switch on a generator or distribution box, and the main input of a piece of equipment like a large dimmer rack, power distribution unit (PDU), or industrial machine that requires hard-wired connection.
The cable itself is a critical safety component, constructed with finely stranded copper conductors within a durable, oil-resistant rubber or thermoplastic jacket rated for 600 volts. The conductor gauge (commonly 2/0, 4/0, or similar) is specified to handle substantial current loads, often 100 amps or more per phase, with minimal voltage drop over the 25-foot length. The flexible stranding allows the cable to be maneuvered and coiled for transport and storage without damaging the internal wires. The Hubbell connector provides a safe, positive-locking interface that prevents accidental disconnection under load, a vital feature in environments where a loose connection could cause arcing, fire, or electrical shock.
In practical use, this cable assembly forms a fundamental part of a temporary power distribution system for concerts, film sets, or construction sites. The CS-6364C connector attaches to a powered source outlet, while the bare wire tails are securely landed into the designated terminals of the receiving equipment, following proper torque specifications and phase sequence. This setup demands a qualified electrician or technician for the final connection to ensure correct polarity, grounding, and mechanical security. By utilizing high-quality, code-compliant components, this assembly provides a reliable and safe method for delivering substantial electrical power where conventional extension cords are inadequate, forming a robust backbone for professional temporary electrical infrastructure.
