socapex Twofer?
« on: March 08, 2012, 05:16:03 PM »

I need a simple way to connect 2 prewired 6 circuit lamp bars with a male input socapex type connectors to a single female socapex cable end coming from the dimmer rack... Does anyone sell a "Twofer" connector with a single female to twin male connections? If not can someone build this for us?

The lamps are 575W, dimmers are 1200W per channel so this all works out with the loads no problem. Just need the connectors.

thanks for any leads.

Just a heads up, two 575 lamps is 1150w. Typically you'd want to try to stay at or under 80% of the total capacity of the dimmer, which would be 960w.

i'm fairly sure you just misspoke, but in the interest of safety, i think you mean a single male to two female twofer.  what you wrote would be a recipe for pain and/or death.

the unit that was linked to above will certainly work for you, but would require two more socapex cables to get to the light bars.  if you've got the cable lying about, then you're golden.  if not, it might be best to have someone build you something to length that suits your needs, or even put a feedthrough on your light bar(s) so you can just jump from one to the next. either solution is a simple build and i would suspect there would be someone here on the board who could point you in the right direction.

Yes you are correct. I need 2 female connectors and one male. The LEX would work but would require 2 more short cables with connectors on each end to get the job done. Jim @ampshop is quoting me a price for building exactly what I need. Can't seem to find it anywhere.

thanks.

As noted under the Features Benefits heading: "Optional multi-cable tails for input or outputs available"

We order them with 2' tails on the male.
