NP-W126\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pegasus Astro Battery Coupler for Fuji NP-W126 replaces your camera's standard battery, allowing you to power it directly from a stable external source for the duration of an entire imaging session. This eliminates the primary cause of interrupted sequences: a dead battery. For astrophotographers, this means no more waking up to a powered-down camera mid-sequence, ensuring that your long exposures, time-lapses, and video captures are completed without fail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-bg-light\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-section\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEliminate Battery Swaps for Uninterrupted Imaging\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor any serious astrophotography, relying on internal camera batteries is a significant point of failure.

Using the integrated environmental sensor, which measures temperature to ±0.5°C and humidity, the UPBv3 can automatically adjust dew heater output to prevent dew formation without wasting power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-bg-light\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-section\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e8 Powered USB Ports with -40°C to +80°C Operation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA robust, industrial-grade USB hub is at the core of the UPBv3, designed to function flawlessly in an extreme temperature range of -40°C to +80°C.

Cable\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis purpose-built adapter cable converts a standard female 2.1mm x 5.5mm DC input to a secure GX12-2 male connector, delivering up to 10A of current over its 0.3m (1ft) length. It is the essential accessory for reliably powering your Pegasus Astro NYX-101 or NYX-88 mount from a common astronomy power supply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-bg-light\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-section\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSecure 10A Power for NYX Mounts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe primary advantage of this cable is its locking GX12 connector, which forms a robust, vibration-resistant link to the mount's power port that cannot be accidentally pulled out. This is a critical upgrade over standard DC barrel connectors that can easily disconnect during a slew or due to cable drag, ruining an imaging session. The cable is rated to handle a maximum current of 10A, ensuring your mount receives stable power under heavy loads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-bg-light\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-section\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePurpose-Built for the NYX-101 and NYX-88\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is not a generic adapter; it is specifically designed by Pegasus Astro for their NYX-101 and NYX-88 harmonic drive mounts. The 0.3m (1ft) length is intentionally chosen to provide a compact connection point, allowing you to manage cables neatly at the mount head without excess slack. It bridges the gap between your mount and power sources like the Ultimate Powerbox or Pocket Powerbox, which typically feature standard 2.1mm x 5.5mm outlets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-accordion\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"DAV-accordion-Q\"\u003eWhat is the Pegasus 2.1x5.5mm to GX12 adapter cable for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-accordion-A\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis cable is designed to connect a power supply that has a standard 2.1mm x 5.5mm male barrel plug to a device that requires a GX12-2 input, specifically the Pegasus Astro NYX-101 and NYX-88 mounts.

It is designed to act as a \"pigtail\" adapter that connects your main power cable to the mount.

Pegasus Astro power distribution hubs like the Pocket Powerbox, Ultimate Powerbox, and Saddle Powerbox all use standard 2.1mm x 5.5mm 12V outputs.
