Clarity on HDX power cable and TB 3 chassis
Hey all!
I have an HDX2 in a 2019 max pro a cheese grater. I am pulling one of those cards and putting it in Avid TB3 chassis so I’ll need to find a second power cable for the card. I remember jumping through some hoops to power the cards when I first got the cheese grater so I looked at avids compatibility chart for chassis and I’m not clear on what’s what. The avid branded HDX chassis has a 2-7-8 by it. (7) Power Cable for HDX (9180-60004-00 or TCB-HDXB) required I assumed this is saying either cable will work. However my sweetwater guy is saying no. That the avid chassis will only work with the Avid cable and the TCB works with sonnet branded chassis. I remember there being a belkin solution as well but can’t recall if it a complete solution or an adapter to an existing cable. Anyone have clarity in this? The avid cables are out to stock everywhere. EDIT: I talked to Sonnet and this is their answer in case anyone finds themselves with pre 2019 cards and a new TB chassis. Thank you for the information and image. The TCB-HDXB cable here is designed for use within Sonnet chassis, or any cable that includes a 6-pin PCIe auxiliary cable for power. All HDX compatible Sonnet chassis include an additional 6-pin PCIe power cable for auxiliary power that this adapter cable can be used with. If your Avid chassis includes a cable like this, or it is already plugged into the main logic board, then you can use the adapter cable above with this cable to power a single Avid HDX card. Otherwise, the Avid 9180-60004-00 cable mentioned is a triple-breakout-cable which is an Avid proprietary cable, not manufactured by Sonnet, and is only provided by Avid with their HDX cards' Mac Pro editions upon purchase. See our tech note here for more details. If the Avid chassis did not include additional cabling (6-Pin auxiliary power cable) and/or you need the Avid triple-cable, but do not have it, the Avid HDX cable can be purchased through third-party Avid suppliers like these here. Avid may also have more information about this cable directly. Let us know if any of this helps to clarify. Thank you for your time. Last edited by DHS; 02-02-2023 at 03:15 PM.
