Panduit PSL-CL110 Cord Lockout Device
The Panduit PSL-CL110 is a one-piece polypropylene cord lockout device engineered for OSHA 1910.147 compliant electrical isolation of 120V AC corded equipment during maintenance and service. Designed for facilities, datacenter, and field technicians who need reliable plug-isolation during hot work, this device encapsulates the male plug end of standard NEMA 5-15P cords, preventing unauthorized reconnection while equipment is being serviced. The hinged cover design accepts up to six padlock shanks simultaneously for multi-worker lockout scenarios, and the bright red housing provides instant visual confirmation of lockout status during safety audits and shift handoffs.
Key Features
- One-piece polypropylene construction resists impact, solvents, and UV degradation in indoor and outdoor service environments
- Accommodates standard 120V NEMA 5-15P plugs from corded power tools, surveillance equipment, access control panels, and portable electronics
- Hinged cover with integrated hasp accepts up to six padlock shanks (3/8" max diameter) for group lockout compliance
- High-visibility red housing meets ANSI Z535 and OSHA color-coding standards for immediate lockout identification
- Compact 3.5" × 2" footprint fits tight equipment racks and congested wiring closets without blocking adjacent outlets
- Tool-free installation — insert plug, close cover, apply padlock and danger tag per site-specific LOTO procedures
- Supplied individually with carton quantity of 10 for stocking maintenance carts or central tool cribs
Electrical safety standards require positive isolation of energy sources before technicians service equipment — and corded devices present a unique challenge because unplugging alone doesn't prevent reconnection by other personnel. The PSL-CL110 solves this by physically enclosing the plug in a locked container, making it impossible to mate the plug with an outlet unless the lockout is removed. The polypropylene body is molded from impact-modified resin that maintains structural integrity across temperature extremes (-40°F to +180°F), won't corrode in humid environments, and resists common cleaning agents and cable lubricants. The hinged design is reinforced at the pivot points to survive repeated open/close cycles without hinge fatigue, and the integrated hasp is molded as part of the body rather than riveted, eliminating a common failure mode in stamped-metal lockout devices. The hasp throat accommodates padlock shanks up to 3/8" diameter, compatible with aluminum, brass, and thermoplastic safety padlocks commonly used in multi-lock group lockout procedures where each authorized worker applies their own lock before beginning work.
In datacenter and surveillance installations, the PSL-CL110 is particularly valuable for isolating corded equipment that doesn't have integral power switches or that might be accidentally powered on during after-hours maintenance. Use cases include locking out corded PoE midspan injectors during camera service, isolating monitor power cords during video wall maintenance, or securing corded UPS units during battery replacement. The 2" width is narrow enough to fit between closely spaced rack-mount PDU outlets, and the red color provides instant confirmation during walk-throughs that a lockout is in place. For multi-worker scenarios — such as when both a surveillance technician and an electrician are working on the same powered system — each worker applies their own padlock to the hasp, ensuring the cord cannot be reconnected until all personnel have completed their tasks and removed their locks. This device also simplifies compliance documentation: the visible red lockout with attached danger tags creates clear photographic evidence for OSHA inspection records and insurance audits, and the one-piece design eliminates the "I didn't see the lockout" defense that sometimes arises with less-visible isolation methods.
Unlike stamped-metal cord caps that require screwdrivers and can pinch fingers during installation, the PSL-CL110's hinged design allows one-handed operation even while wearing work gloves, and the smooth polypropylene edges won't snag on cable jackets or scratch finished surfaces in customer-facing areas. Panduit's industrial-grade molding process ensures consistent wall thickness and hasp alignment across production runs, reducing the risk of lockout failures due to manufacturing defects. For integrators managing OSHA compliance across multiple job sites, stocking the PSL-CL110 in maintenance kits ensures your crews have ANSI-compliant lockout devices on hand whenever corded equipment service is required — supporting both regulatory compliance and the safety culture that differentiates professional contractors from fly-by-night installers.
