Vertiv CPQ-1069969-02 NEMA L5-30P to NEMA 5-20R Power Adapter with Ethernet

Overview

The CPQ-1069969-02 is a Vertiv power adapter cord that converts a NEMA L5-30P twistlock input — the style found on many UPS output receptacles and PDU outlets — to dual NEMA 5-20R output receptacles, while also providing dual 10/100/1000Mbps Ethernet pass-through ports. This makes it a practical adapter for rack environments where a downstream device needs standard 5-20R power from an L5-30P source, and where network connectivity must be routed through the same assembly rather than run separately. The combination of power conversion and integrated Ethernet in a single unit reduces cable clutter in space-constrained rack installations.

Compatibility

Designed for use with Vertiv power distribution and UPS equipment that presents NEMA L5-30P output — including select Vertiv Liebert and Geist PDU families with L5-30 outlet banks. The dual NEMA 5-20R receptacles accept standard 20A-rated equipment plugs, covering most 1U rack servers, network appliances, and edge computing hardware. The integrated Gigabit Ethernet ports support standard RJ-45 patch cables and are compatible with any 10/100/1000BASE-T network infrastructure. Verify that the upstream PDU or UPS outlet is rated for the combined load of both downstream devices before deploying.

Installation Notes

The L5-30P twistlock inlet requires a quarter-turn lock engagement — confirm the plug seats and locks fully before powering connected equipment. Both NEMA 5-20R outlets share the capacity of the single L5-30P input; do not exceed the rated amperage across the combined load. The Ethernet pass-through is passive routing — no switching, management, or PoE injection is performed at this adapter. Match the cord's ampacity to the circuit breaker protecting the upstream outlet.
