SIP1PCIA IP65 Outdoor 1 Foot 12 AWG Locking Power Cable Adapter

The SIP1PCIA is a 1-foot, 12AWG adapter that converts a standard locking power connector into an IP65 locking power input. It exists for one practical reason: crews who already own a stock of standard locking power cables and extensions don't have to replace all of it the moment a job calls for IP65-rated gear. Instead, this short adapter bridges the two systems at the point where they meet. The 12AWG conductor is rated for 20A at 120VAC or 16A at 250VAC, enough capacity for par cans, moving heads, and small to mid-size lighting packages run off standard power. UL recognized components back the internal wiring, and the locking connector on the IP65 end keeps that connection secure even when a rig gets bumped or a cable gets stepped on mid-show. At 1 foot end to end, it adds almost no length to a run, so it slots into an existing cable path without changing how a rig is laid out. Production companies that mix cable generations, some IP65, some standard, use adapters like this to avoid forcing every truck and every tech onto one connector standard at once. It's a small, inexpensive piece of hardware that solves a real compatibility problem on load-in day.
