AVID 9180-60004-00 Pro Tools | HDX Card Power Adapter Cable

Power Cable Adapter for HDX Systems in Mac Pro and EB7 Chassis
The AVID 9180-60004-00 HDX Triple Power Cable is a purpose-built adapter designed to power your Pro Tools | HDX PCIe card when installed in a Mac Pro or EB7 Thunderbolt expansion chassis. This cable bridges the gap between the system's internal 6-pin PCIe power output and the HDX card’s 4-pin power input, delivering the required auxiliary power needed for stable operation. It’s an essential component when configuring or upgrading an HDX system for professional audio production.

Enables Proper Power Delivery to Pro Tools HDX PCIe Cards
Pro Tools | HDX cards require more power than a standard PCIe slot can provide, especially under full processing loads. This cable ensures that the card receives stable and sufficient auxiliary power directly from the host system's internal power supply. Without this cable, the HDX card may not initialize or function correctly—making it a critical requirement for Mac Pro and EB7 chassis users.

Compatible with Apple Mac Pro and EB7 Expansion Chassis
Designed specifically for compatibility with Mac Pro towers and EB7 Thunderbolt PCIe expansion chassis, this cable features the appropriate connectors and length for straightforward integration. It provides a clean, secure connection inside your workstation or chassis environment, helping maintain system reliability and avoiding power-related dropouts during sessions.

Tailored for Studio Environments Demanding High Stability
When working with professional-grade audio sessions that involve large track counts, plug-ins, and real-time processing, consistent power delivery to your HDX hardware is crucial. This cable plays a direct role in ensuring your system’s audio DSP engine performs at full capacity without interruptions. It’s ideal for users configuring mission-critical Pro Tools rigs for music production, post, or live recording.

Reliable Construction for Secure System Integration
Built to AVID’s specifications, the cable features high-quality connectors and reliable insulation to stand up to constant use in demanding studio environments. It’s engineered to maintain stable electrical contact even in tight spaces and busy rack configurations, supporting long-term deployment without degradation in performance.
