The essential tool for professional maintenance of Supernova e-bike lighting systems: the Supernova CPC Tool (W-CPC-UT1) is a specialized tool in black anodized aluminum designed for safe removal of Compact Power Connector (CPC) cables used in headlights and taillights of the Supernova range. This permanent assembly connector absolutely requires the use of this tool during maintenance, conversion or replacement operations to avoid any damage to cables and delicate electrical connections.

Why a dedicated tool for the CPC?

The Compact Power Connector (CPC) is a proprietary Supernova electrical connection system, designed as a permanent assembly connector and not intended for frequent disconnections/reconnections. Unlike conventional plugs, the CPC guarantees maximum waterproofing, long-term reliability and weather resistance for high-end e-bike lighting systems. However, during technical interventions (M99 Pro 2 headlight replacement, cable replacement, Bosch/Shimano/Yamaha/Brose motor conversion, etc.), its disassembly requires specific tools to preserve the mechanical integrity of gold-plated micro-contacts and avoid breaking PVC-free sheaths.

Operation and procedure

• Top-side guidance: The tool is positioned above the CPC connector and engages in the notches provided to release the mechanical lock without forcing.
• Bottom-side approach: If top access is obstructed (suspension fork mounting, frame integration, internal cabling), the CPC Tool can be used from below for safe disassembly.
• Damage-free handling: The tool's geometry evenly distributes the release force, avoiding any point stress that could fracture the connector housing or tear out contact pins.

Compatibility with Supernova systems

This tool is compatible with all Supernova lighting systems equipped with the Compact Power Connector, including:

• M99 Pro 2 front headlights: High-end e-bike headlight model with high beam function, multiple ports (up to 5 possible connections), compatible with Bosch Smart System, Shimano EP8 motors, Yamaha PW-X3, TQ, Brose, etc.
• U series (Mini 2, Mini 3, Mini 2 Pro, Mini 3 Pro): Compact lights for urban e-bikes and touring e-bikes.
• TL3 Mini, TL3 Pro, TL3 Max taillights: With integrated brake light function and 3-axis sensors (for TL3 Pro and Max).
• Power Connector cables: The entire range of CPC cables (lengths 500 mm to 1,300 mm) for Bosch Gen.1-4 motors, Bosch Smart System (LPP/HPP), Giant, AVINOX/DJI, etc.
