About the Rubber Box Co RUBSSP163 16AMP 3 Way Power Distribution Box
The Rubber Box Co RUBSSP163 is a robust, portable power distribution unit engineered for demanding use in live event production, broadcast outside broadcasts, and temporary electrical installations. Designed as a 16-amp 3-way splitter, its primary function is to safely and reliably distribute a single high-current power source to multiple pieces of equipment, thereby overcoming the limitation of a single outlet. The unit is renowned for its durability, housed within a distinctive heavy-duty molded rubber enclosure that provides exceptional protection against physical impact, harsh weather, and rough handling on stage or location.
Safety and compliance are central to its design, featuring a robust industrial-grade 16-amp IP44-rated input connector and three individually switched and fused 13-amp IP44-rated output sockets. Each output is protected by its own neon indicator and fuse, allowing technicians to quickly identify a tripped circuit and manage loads effectively. The inclusion of an earth leakage (RCD) protector as a core component provides a critical layer of safety against earth faults, making it a responsible choice for powering sensitive audio, video, and lighting gear in environments where electrical safety is non-negotiable.
Beyond its protective features, the RUBSSP163 is built for practical deployment. Its low-profile, cable-friendly design helps prevent trip hazards, and the rubber casing protects both the unit and other equipment from damage. This combination of resilient construction, comprehensive electrical protection, and user-focused design makes it an industry-standard piece of kit for touring crews, rental houses, and production companies that require a dependable, safe, and tour-proven method of distributing mains power on site.
