In short: The Lex EverGrip A5037 is a 1-foot overmolded adapter that connects original powerCON® extension cables to a powerCON TRUE1® power source. It has an inline 20A powerCON TRUE1 male plug on one end and a molded 20A grey powerCON panel-mount receptacle on the other, joined by #12/3 SJOOW cord. It is rated 20A at 125V AC, single-phase (hot, neutral, ground).
Why EverGrip
If you've moved your distro or main cable runs to TRUE1, you probably still have a stack of good powerCON extensions. The A5037 lets you keep using them by joining a TRUE1 run to an original powerCON extension in line. Lex overmolds both ends, so there's no screw-together connector housing to work loose on the road.
Joins powerCON® and powerCON TRUE1® extensions in line, so your existing powerCON cable inventory keeps working on a TRUE1 system.
An overmolded alternative to standard screw-together adapters, with rugged molding that won't deteriorate over the service life of the device.
Thermoplastic molding creates a permanent bond between the cable and connector for superior strain relief and secure termination.
Neutrik powerCON TRUE1 on the plug end and a molded grey powerCON panel mount on the receptacle end.
#12/3 SJOOW cord is oil resistant and rated for outdoor use, and the 12-gauge conductors carry the full 20A rating.
Lex builds it for motion picture and TV production, theatrical, concert, touring and live event power.
On set & on show
Use the A5037 anywhere a TRUE1 power source needs to feed an original powerCON extension cable:
Using it safely
The TRUE1 end can be connected and disconnected under load. Original powerCON can't, so make and break power at the TRUE1 end.
Original powerCON connectors are not designed to be connected or disconnected under load. Follow your local code, venue rules and the equipment manufacturer's instructions.

Questions
The Lex EverGrip A5037 connects an original powerCON extension cable to a powerCON TRUE1 power source. It has an inline 20A TRUE1 male plug on one end and a molded 20A grey powerCON panel-mount receptacle on the other, on 1 foot of #12/3 SJOOW cord, rated 20A at 125V AC.
Both take power from a TRUE1 outlet. The A5037 ends in a grey powerCON panel mount that accepts a powerCON extension cable. The A5025 ends in a blue powerCON connector that plugs straight into a fixture's blue powerCON inlet.
On original powerCON, grey marks a power-out connection and blue marks a power-in connection. The A5037's grey panel mount supplies power, so it accepts the grey power-in end of a powerCON extension cable. It will not accept a blue powerCON connector.
Only at the TRUE1 end. powerCON TRUE1 has breaking capacity and can be connected or disconnected under load, but original powerCON connectors cannot. Make your powerCON connections first, plug in the TRUE1 end last, and unplug the TRUE1 end first when you disconnect.
EverGrip is Lex's overmolded construction. Thermoplastic molding creates a permanent bond between the cable and connector, giving superior strain relief and a rugged build that won't deteriorate over the life of the device.
It is rated 20A at 125V AC, 60 Hz, single-phase with hot, neutral and ground, 2-pole and 3-wire.
It uses 1 foot of black #12/3 SJOOW cord. SJOOW cord is oil resistant and rated for outdoor use, and 12-gauge conductors carry the full 20A rating.
