  • Lightweight and extremely compact aluminium enclosure

4 x 12V DC Power outlets

A robust MOSFET transistor serves as the reliable power source for your valuable equipment. It provides electricity to four outputs, with the capability to switch on/off all 12V outputs simultaneously, offering a unified control over your power distribution.

This single channel can provide up to 10Amps of current to all ports. Current is shared among the 4 x 12V ports

Built in Voltmeter

A high-precision voltmeter is integrated into the device, providing real-time measurement and display of your input voltage. In the event that the input voltage exceeds 14.5V, the system swiftly activates a power cutoff mechanism to safeguard your valuable equipment from potential damage.

Adjustable Regulated Output

The device features an adjustable output, designed to supply power to a range of devices, including DSLR and Mirrorless cameras, as well as Raspberry Pi 3/4/5. The voltage can be precisely tuned to various levels, including 3, 5, 7, 8, 9, and 12 Volts, ensuring compatibility with a variety of equipment. Additionally, we offer an extensive selection of battery couplers tailored to Canon, Nikon, Sony, FUJI cameras, and more for your convenience.

Built in Amp-meter

Built in Amp-meter

Amp-meter placement after the DC input allows for the reporting of the total electric current, providing a comprehensive overview of power usage. In addition, three additional amp-meters are integrated into the system. One is dedicated to the 12V outputs, while two are designated for the Dew Heater Channels. This arrangement offers the convenience of monitoring both detailed and overall power consumption for your equipment.

More than 12A of total electric current

The powerbox has been designed to deliver a substantial electric current output of up to 12 Amps. It’s worth noting that a typical backyard astrophotography setup typically demands a range of 5-7 Amps for efficient operation.

Embedded USB3 Hub – 2 x USB3 & 2 x USB2 Ports

Embedded USB3 Hub – 2 x USB3 & 2 x USB2 Ports

A powered USB3 Hub at the back of the device provides:

  • 2 x USB3 SuperSpeed Ports
  • 2 x USB2 High-Speed Ports.

The new SuperSpeed hubs operate in parallel with the USB 2.0 controller, so 5 Gbps SuperSpeed data transfers are not affected by slower USB 2.0 traffic.|

USB Port Configuration under PPBADV Gen2

  • USB Port1 supports USB2 devices
  • USB Port2 supports USB2 devices
  • USB Port3 supports USB2 & USB3 devices
  • USB Port4 supports USB2 & USB3 devices

* Older product revision (Gen1) had only 3 out of 4 USB Ports that were compatible to USB2 devices. For detailed information please check the product manual.

USB High Power Output

USB Port 1 provides up to 3Amps of current. You can connect any device that requires 5V. E.g a Raspberry PI 3/4 or Intel Compute Stick M3/M5 can receive power from this specific port.

Expansion Port (EXT)

Expansion Port (EXT)

EXT (expansion) port is available for device expansion. This RJ12 socket allows the connectivity of eXternal Motor Control or Environmental Sensor.
