I carry 5x 350 feet of 2/0 single conductors for my largest systems this is sound only, I hire lighting for shows that use this system and they carry thier own feeder smaller shows I supply on 4/4 or 6/5 depending on if I have 3 phase power available club shows are easily feed off 10/4 George

If you're referring to "Cam-Lok," they par for the course for larger distros, and the disconnects can be found at just about any major venue in N. America. Typical services using Cam-Lok are 100 amp 3 phase up to 400 amp 3 phase in arenas, stadiums and large halls. As far as the NEC goes, the feeders for these distros are not supposed to be tied or taped together, but I have yet to see an inspector complain as most live sound and lighting companies usually wrap the feeder with e-tape or something at intervals just to keep it from getting tangled in the trunk. For my personal rig, all I need is 6/4 SO cable for 50 amp single phase. I'm using Hubbell Insulgrip twist-locks into the distro and for the tails into the service panel. Greg
