2. Product Function
3. Ports Description
|
Two USB3.1 SuperSpeed ports with independent switches and plug-drop controls Two USB 2.0 ports with independent switches and plug-drop controls ◾ Each USB port of Terrans PowerBoxGo V2 supports independent remote plug-drop controls and power switch, and each USB port can support up to 2A current output. In the remote observatory station, when the connected device shows no response or abnormality, software can be used to quickly reset the faulty device. ◾ We have equipped each USB port with an imported data management chip from Texas Instruments, which enables complete physical disconnection of USB 3.1 and USB 2.0 data lines, enabling the actual insertion and removal of USB devices. |

Five12V DC power output ports with independent switches One 12V Always ON port DC power port adopts gold plating process Terrans PowerBoxGo V2 is equipped with ◾ Five DC 12V power output port with independent switches, each equipped with an independent power management chip to protect the safety of electrical equipment. Each port supports a maximum current output of 8A. ◾ One 12V Always ON port, supporting a maximum output of 5A current, with anti reverse connection protection. |
4. Electrical characteristics
|
Input voltage |
◾ Rated input voltage 12V ◾ When the input voltage is greater than 14V or less than 10V, the device will disable all power outputs and pop up an alarm |
|
Input current |
◾ Maximum input current 10A ◾ When the input voltage is 12V, the maximum output power is 120W |
|
12V DC output |
◾ Each 12V output port supports independent switches ◾ Single 12V output port can support a maximum output current of 8A, ◾ Power supply output slow start, limiting large currents or voltage surges ◾ Short circuit protection. When a 12V port experiences a short circuit, the power management chip of that port will immediately cut off the power output without affecting the normal power supply of other ports. |
|
USB 2.0 and USB 3.1 SuperSpeed ports |
◾ Each USB port supports independent power switch ◾ Each USB port supports independent control and plugging, and USB3.1 can be downgraded to USB2.0 ◾ Single USB port supports a maximum output current of 2A, with overcurrent protection and short circuit protection ◾ Power supply output slow start, limiting large currents or voltage surges ◾ Under voltage protection, power supply is prohibited when the voltage is ◾ Reverse current blocking, USB management chip supports blocking reverse current from abnormal electrical devices ◾ Overheat protection, cutting off power supply when the temperature of the power supply chip exceeds 135 |
|
12V DC adjustable output |
◾ Non switchable Always ON 12V output, can be used for PC power supply ◾ Support reverse connection protection |
|
Voltage/Current/Power detection |
◾ Real time monitoring of input voltage/input current/input power and display through software |
