{"product_id":"32a-socapex-distro","title":"32Amp Socapex Distro","description":"\u003cp data-end=\"1029\" data-start=\"754\"\u003eBuilt for real world touring and production use, this 32A three phase Socapex distro is designed for reliable power distribution to lighting and stage loads, including rigs that end up behind LED screens, on platforms, or outdoors where equipment still needs to keep working.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-end=\"1066\" data-start=\"1031\"\u003e12 channels, protected properly\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1419\" data-start=\"1067\"\u003eThis unit provides 12 Socapex channels in total, delivered via two ShowSafe 19 pin\u003cstrong data-end=\"1173\" data-start=\"1134\"\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003eSocapex outputs, plus two 16A outlets for local kit such as control gear, networking, work lights, or small practical loads. It’s a genuinely useful setup because you can run the rig and still have convenient power nearby without dragging out another board.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-end=\"1474\" data-start=\"1421\"\u003eWhy this is different to “one RCD for everything”\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1675\" data-start=\"1475\"\u003eMany Socapex distros put all channels behind a single RCD. That can be a problem because one earth fault, or enough normal background leakage across multiple connected devices, can trip the whole lot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1968\" data-start=\"1677\"\u003eOn this unit, each Socapex channel has its own two pole Type A, C curve RCBO. If one channel develops a fault, only that channel trips, so the rest of the rig stays live. It also helps avoid nuisance tripping caused by leakage adding up across lots of connected fixtures and drivers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-end=\"2024\" data-start=\"1970\"\u003eIP rated distro, because your fixtures already are\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2216\" data-start=\"2025\"\u003eIn the last couple of years we’ve seen a huge increase in IP rated fixtures (IP44, IP65, IP67 and beyond)… but plenty of power distribution on stages is still effectively “best kept dry”.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2482\" data-start=\"2218\"\u003eThis is exactly why this unit exists.
