Powering the 2x4pro

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

Neutrik powerCON TRUE1 connector

The 2x4pro uses True1 Powercon as its power input and features a loop through to make powering a multi server system more efficient.

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:

  • SJT flexible cord, min. 12AWG, min. 300V, min. 60∨dm;C, max 4.5 m long

  • One end terminated with appliance coupler type Neutrik AG, type NAC3MX-W

  • Other end terminated with appliance coupler type Neutrik AG, type NAC3FX

It is important that you calculate how many pro range units you can daisy chain together using the in/loop connections provided. Failure to do so could result in a loss of power to the Disguise system.

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
