PD-Connex PSB30 - 1 to 7 Power Distribution Unit with PowerCON TRUE1 Connectors
The PD-Connex PSB30 is a professional power distribution unit designed to provide a robust, safe, and efficient power management solution for demanding environments. This multidirectional splitter is the perfect tool for organizing and distributing power precisely and efficiently on stages, truss systems, recording studios, television sets, and any type of audiovisual equipment platform. Its lightweight, portable, and plug-and-play design allows for extremely quick setup, minimizing assembly and disassembly times.
Built with a rugged aluminum housing, the PSB30 not only withstands the rigors of touring and events but also efficiently dissipates heat. At its core, it distributes a single 20A input line to seven separate output lines using the industry-standard PowerCON TRUE1 connectors. These connectors offer a quick and secure locking system that prevents accidental disconnections, ensuring uninterrupted current flow. They also feature the ability to be connected and disconnected under load—an essential feature for professionals. An LED power indicator allows for at-a-glance verification of power status, adding an extra layer of control and safety.

Frequently Asked Questions
What type of connectors does it use exactly?
The PSB30 uses PowerCON TRUE1 series connectors for both input and all seven outputs. These are 3-pole connectors (phase, neutral, ground) with a 20A capacity.
Can I connect or disconnect a cable while the computer is powered on?
Yes. One of the key advantages of PowerCON TRUE1 connectors is their ability to safely connect and disconnect under electrical load, providing great flexibility during events.
Is the unit water resistant?
The PowerCON TRUE1 connectors it uses are IP65 rated when mated, protecting them against dust and water jets. However, the unit's housing itself is not rated for outdoor use in the rain if not protected.
What is the purpose of the M10 thread?
The M10 thread is designed to attach the distributor to a structure, typically a truss, using a standard mounting clamp or bracket (not included). This allows the unit to be positioned at an elevated height and keeps cables off the ground.
What is the difference between this distributor and a household power strip?
Unlike a household power strip, the PSB30 is designed for professional environments. It uses locking connectors to prevent faults, has a much more robust metal housing, supports higher current (20A), and offers professional mounting options such as an M10 thread.
