2. There are two different ways of wiring the female
Socapex outlets, and each requires the same wiring in the
break-out. This is to idiot-proof plugging a 120V BO into a 208V
outlet, and is used by Christie and some others (like the
Strand LightRack, as discussed here:
https://www.controlbooth.com/threads/etc-sensor-or-strand-light-rack.15476/ )

The "normal"
break-out can be used for either 120 or 208, one just has to change the six female outlets. The "other" offers the benefit of passing no
power if a 120 is connected to a 208, as the
potential difference between hot and
neutral is zero.
