Overcomes Cable Length Challenges Of Low Voltage LED Lighting
Distances Up To 150 Meters

LDI 2022 Best Debuting Product—Lighting

The ProPlex BuckBoost™ Drive System is a unique, patent-pending technology that completely overcomes the cable length challenges of low voltage LED lighting, especially LED “neons” and tapes. This revolutionary new system allows centralized and remote (up to 150m) location of drives, mains power and PSU’s. The proprietary BuckBoost drive signal is carried over a small cable, sized equivalent to a mic cable, from a remote BoostBox™ to a small inconspicuous BuckBox™ located adjacent to the fixture.

BoostBox™

RackMount, PortableMount, and DIN Rail versions available with 2, 4, or 8 outputs.

ProPlex® PowerData 2+2 Cable 2x 14 AWG power and 1-pair 22 AWG data to BuckBoxes.

BuckBox™

Compact BuckBoxes are mounted adjacent to LED fixtures.
5-wire Pluggable Terminal Block output connectors drive any of single color, dynamic white, RGB, RGBW, or Digital multi-pixel fixtures.

SmartFade™

A BuckBoost Drive System also incorporates ProPlex proprietary SmartFade™ dimming.

An industry-leading high resolution dimming technology providing advanced features including—

Gamma correction

Smooth, linear fades, 100% to zero

Instant response times

Variable PWM frequency – 300 to 40,000 Hz

Compact, inconspicuous BuckBoxes – IP67 architectural, and IP65 portable versions

BoostBox units include DMX and dual Ethernet control connections – versatile connectivity for any project scale

Up to 200 Watts of power per BoostBox output

Single ProPlex® PowerData 2+2 Cable to each BuckBox. Up to 150 m in length!

Variable PWM frequency – 300 to 40,000 Hz. Lower frequencies will drive LEDs with built-in active drivers while higher frequencies allow flicker-free high-speed filming.

Self-resetting solid-state overload protection – protection for short-circuit or overload that will prevent driver damage and reduce fire hazard – no need to replace fuses!
