Powering the 4x4pro
The pro and gx ranges of disguise servers use Neutrik powerCON TRUE1 as the power input. The TRUE1 is:
-
Lockable
-
Live-Mating (safely)
-
Extendable
-
Dust and water resistant according to IP65 in mated condition
To power a server, you should use a cable with the following attributes:
-
SJT flexible cord, min. 12AWG, min. 300V, min. 60∨dm;C, max 4.5 m long
-
One end terminated with NEMA 5-15P/BS 1363/CEE 7 plug
-
Other end terminated with appliance coupler type Neutrik AG, type NAC3FX

The
The power input to the machine is rated at 12Amps RMS per connection in Europe and USA.
Loop through cables should have the following attributes:
It is important that you calculate how many
Use the formula "Power = Voltage x Current" to calculate how many units you can chain together. For Example:
UK Power: 230V 13Amp rated supply.
For example, max power draw of a 4x4pro = 1400W (check technical specifications for your unit).
Available Power = 230V x 12A
Available Power = 2990W
Available Power / Max Power Draw = Number of Units
2990W / 1400W = 2.1 Units
Warning: Be safe! On a UK 13Amp supply @230V you can connect 2 Units safely with 100W of headroom
