Power connections that fail at critical moments can bring the entire operation to a halt. A loose connector during a live event, moisture ingress in outdoor installations, or a cable failure in hard industrial environments, these are not just inconveniences. They are costly downtime, safety risks, and reputational damage waiting to happen.
At Trans Light Electricals LLC, we supply the TRUE1 series, which is a heavy-duty, lockable industrial power connector engineered to deliver safe performance and protection from failure in the UAE’s most demanding applications.
Unlike ordinary connectors that loosen over time, fail under load, or crack in extreme weather, the TRUE1 series features a secure twist-lock mechanism, IP67 weatherproofing, and Breaking Capacity (CBC), allowing it to be safely connected or disconnected under live load. From outdoor events in Dubai’s summer heat to industrial plants running 24/7, these connectors are built to outlast, outperform, and keep your power flowing without interruption.
TRUE1 connectors deliver the reliability you need, backed by the trusted service of Trans Light Electricals LLC across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and the entire UAE.
What Makes TRUE1 Different
The TRUE1 connector defines itself with its twist-lock mechanism, which assures a secure fit even during vibration, movement, or severe use.
The twist-lock mechanism of the TRUE1 connector ensures TRUE1 locking and protection against accidental disconnection from vibration or pulling on the cable during a performance. This method, without an adhesive or screw attachment for connectors, also removes any random disconnecting that may lead to either loss of power or an unsafe situation. Its unique characteristic is the possibility to connect and disconnect under live load in complete safety, which is particularly advantageous for live shows, emergency services, or continuous industrial activities where turning off the power supply source cannot be contemplated.
Designed for demanding environments and certified safe
Rugged and reliable, the TRUE1 is rated to IP65/IP67, making it an ideal solution for outdoor applications. It withstands temperatures from -30°C to +80°C, as well as being UV resistant with over 5,000 mating cycles, making it perfect for long-term use. The TRUE1 is ENEC, VDE, UL, and CSA certified, ensuring safe operation not only in indoor but also outdoor environments for any application from renting installations to industrial solutions.

Full safeguarding against dust infiltration and water exposure up to 1 meter deep. - UV Resistance: F1-rated material
Withstands prolonged exposure to direct sunlight without degradation, critical for UAE outdoor applications. - Flammability: UL 94 V-0
The highest flame-retardant rating ensures the connector self-extinguishes and does not contribute to fire spread. - Temperature Range:
- -30°C to +80°C according to IEC 61984 (operational range)
- -5°C to +40°C according to IEC 60320-1 (standard rating)
The extended temperature range makes TRUE1 suitable for extreme conditions far beyond what standard connectors can handle.
Key Features of Industrial Power Connectors
Heavy-duty Sealed Construction
The TRUE1 is purpose-built for hard environments. While standard connectors fail when exposed to dust, moisture, or temperature extremes, the TRUE1 is purpose-built for hard environments. While standard connectors fail when exposed to dust, moisture, or temperature extremes, the TRUE1’s sealed design with IP65/IP67 protection ensures reliable operation in outdoor events, construction sites, and industrial facilities across the UAE.
Lockable Single-Phase Connector
The twist-lock mechanism provides a positive, secure connection that won’t vibrate loose or accidentally disconnect. This is critical in applications where power interruption could cause equipment damage, data loss, or safety hazards.
Breaking Capacity (CBC)
The TRUE1 is a true mains connector with breaking capacity, meaning it can safely connect or disconnect circuits under load or while live. This feature is invaluable in situations where shutting down power isn’t practical, such as during live events, emergency response, or 24/7 industrial operations.
UV-resistant High-Impact Materials
Made with F1-rated UV-resistant polyamide, the TRUE1 does not crack, fade, or become brittle under Dubai’s intense sunlight. Unlike cheaper plastic connectors that degrade with months of outdoor use, TRUE1 maintains its structural integrity and appearance for years.
Extremely Robust and Reliable
Designed for over 5,000 mating cycles, the TRUE1 outlasts standard connectors by a significant margin. The reinforced locking mechanism and contact system maintain secure engagement and low resistance even after years of daily use.
Easy and Reliable Twist-Lock System
The intuitive twist-lock design allows for quick, tool-free installation while ensuring a secure connection. The visual and tactile feedback confirms proper engagement, reducing installation errors and ensuring every connection is safe.
Applications For Industrial Power Connectors
Events & Entertainment
From concerts at Dubai’s Coca-Cola Arena to outdoor festivals and corporate events, the TRUE1 series provides reliable power distribution for lighting, sound systems, and stage equipment. The Breaking Capacity feature allows technicians to hot-swap equipment during live performances, while IP67 protection guards against sudden sandstorms or rain.
Construction Sites
UAE construction projects demand rugged equipment that can withstand dust, heat, and rough handling. TRUE1 connectors provide dependable power connections for tools, temporary lighting, and site equipment, with the durability to handle daily setup and teardown over months or years.
Industrial Manufacturing
In factories and production facilities running 24/7, power reliability is critical. The TRUE1’s high contact quality, low resistance, and breaking capacity ensure machinery stays powered without interruption, while the connector’s long lifespan reduces maintenance requirements.
Outdoor Installations
From telecommunications equipment to outdoor lighting systems and temporary structures, the TRUE1’s IP67 rating and UV resistance make it ideal for any equipment exposed to the elements. The connector maintains performance in temperatures from -30°C to +80°C, far exceeding the range needed for UAE conditions.
Marine & Offshore
In marine applications where moisture and salt spray are constant challenges, the TRUE1’s sealed construction and corrosion-resistant silver-plated contacts provide reliable power connections that standard connectors simply can’t match.
Broadcast & Film Production
On-location film shoots and broadcast setups require power connectivity that’s both reliable and quick to deploy. The TRUE1’s twist-lock system allows rapid setup and teardown while ensuring connections won’t fail during critical takes.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Both versions are fully certified according to EN IEC 60320-1, UL 60320-1, and CSA 22.2 No. 60320-1. The difference lies in the cable types they’re certified to work with:
- TRUE1-S is certified for H05VV-F 3G1.5mm², H05VV-F 3G2.5mm², H07RN-F 3G 1.5mm², and SJOOW 14/3 AWG
- TRUE1-L is certified for H07RN-F 3G 2.5mm², SOOW 16/3, SJOOW 16/3, and SJOOW 14/3
Choose the S-version for lighter, more flexible cables in portable applications, and the L-version for heavier cables in permanent or industrial installations.
IEC 60799 applies to “Cord Sets and Interconnection Cord Sets” and covers both cables connecting to mains power and cables acting as power interconnections between equipment. If you’re building complete power cord assemblies or interconnection cables, this standard is relevant.
Yes. The TRUE1 is a true mains connector with Breaking Capacity (CBC), meaning it can be safely connected or disconnected while the circuit is live and under load. This makes it ideal for applications where shutting down power isn’t practical or possible.
The TRUE1 operates from -30°C to +80°C according to IEC 61984, with a standard rating of -5°C to +40°C according to IEC 60320-1. This extended range makes it suitable for extreme environmental conditions well beyond UAE requirements.
Yes. The TRUE1 is manufactured using F1-rated UV-resistant materials that withstand prolonged exposure to direct sunlight without degradation, essential for outdoor use in the UAE’s intense sun.
