The PowerLink Truss & Stagebox is an extremely robust,
ergonomic and easy-to-use power distribution system.
It is equipped with one input and four outputs. It offers
a current carrying capacity of up to 16A/250V. Due to
the compact size and the ergonomic arrangement of
the connections, easy handling is guaranteed even in
tough everyday stage use - and even with gloves. The
plastic housing has a design with rounded absorber
edges, but also the robust surface is particularly shock-
absorbent. External forces are thus perfectly diverted.
Inside the box, reinforcing cross ribs, in conjunction
with six enclosure screws, give the PowerLink Truss
& Stagebox a very high level of resistance and ensure
compliance with current safety standards. A fall from
truss height is easily absorbed, which underlines the
robustness and durability. In addition, the housing is ul-
tra-light. The PowerLink Truss & Stagebox can be eas-
ily and quickly attached to a truss via two PowerLink
Clamps; additional securing with two O-rings is also
possible. Alternatively, the box can be equipped with
an optional metal bracket on the underside. This has 2
pre-drilled holes as well as an M10 screw connection
to ensure screwed fastening.

Fixing
Fixing in the rig
Fixing in the rig, to wiring harness tubes with a diameter of 50 mm, is done by 2 clamps
attached to the PowerLink.
The clamp is designed as a body spring and acts self-locking against the housing when
mounted. This prevents the box from slipping after being attached to the traverse.
For additional load bearing capacity, the clamps can be secured with O-rings.
