Description
Martin P3 PowerPort 500 IP Install
The Martin P3 PowerPort 500 IP Install is a professional-grade network distribution node engineered for outdoor lighting control installations. This rugged unit delivers reliable Art-Net and sACN protocol conversion in environments where weather resistance and network redundancy are non-negotiable.
Network Architecture & Protocol Support
This node supports Art-Net 1, 2, 3, and 4 compliance including RDM, alongside sACN and Martin's proprietary P3 control protocol. Triple Ethernet transceiver configuration—100/1000Mbit IN and THRU ports, 100Mbit OUT—enables flexible daisy-chaining and network topology options without single points of failure.
Environmental Durability & Power Management
IP66 rating certifies this unit for permanent outdoor installation, handling spray and dust exposure across temperature extremes. The 100-277V AC auto-ranging power supply with dual M20×1.5 cable glands accepts standard industrial connectors; typical heat dissipation runs 1705 BTU/hr under full load with connected fixtures.
