Dc power alt question. Missing plug?

I got my Alt from Dc Power and installed it today And I noticed there is no place to plug in the "little" plug like the OEM alt had. What is this plug for and how shall I properly cap it if not needed? I do want to leave the end on it so it can be used if needed in the future.

Got a response from DC Power. Turns out the secondary gray plug is not requried with their alternator. Instructed to simply disregard it and all is good.
