PRG Series 400 Distribution Rack
The PRG Series 400® Data and Power Distribution Rack offers significant
features, both standard and superior to other power distribution systems.
The Series 400 system consists of a Rolling Rack unit, up to six 3U Breaker
Modules, and associated Breakout Boxes connected by Trunk Cables. The
rack is designed to distribute house power service and control signals for
the purpose of operating automated luminaires or other remote devices up
to 500 feet away.
Optional components include the Front of House (FOH) Breaker and
Breakout Modules, which provides a convenient method of connecting
consoles and accessories at the mix riser position. The FOH Breaker
Module sources two sets of six 15-Amp circuits of AC line power and
provides system control data inputs for up to 10 USITT DMX512 universes
along with inputs for two 10/100BaseT Ethernet signals at the associated
FOH Breakout Module. The FOH A/B Switch is connected to the FOH
Breakout Module and can be used to input and track multiple DMX512
universes.
