Powering the gx 2
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.
Powering a multi server system
The 4x2pro 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.
Power calculations for a safely powered system
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
