The Ultimate Solution for All Your Cable Management Needs!
Modern astrophotography setups are packed with gear, and even tidy rigs can run into cable problems. To solve this, Pegasus Astro designed the Ultimate Powerbox v3. This solution offers one of the most complete cable and power management solutions in astronomy.
This compact blue hub becomes the heart of your system, handling power distribution, USB 2.0/3.0 connections, dew control, focus motor control, and more. Dual interfaces (USB and Wi-Fi) let you manage everything remotely, perfect for both backyard use and remote observatories.
Mounting the Powerbox directly on your rig keeps cables short, reducing snags, weight, and drag. Its wide range of ports supports single or multiple imaging systems on one mount. Through the Pegasus Astro app, you can restart hardware remotely or set automated shutdown schedules.
The Ultimate Powerbox v3 integrates seamlessly with any PC-based imaging setup. Mac users can access full functionality with a virtual machine.
UPBv3 Safety & Gear Protection
Reverse Polarity Protection
Essential safety features will protect your equipment in the event of accidental reverse connection of the main power supply.
Hardware Watchdog
Incorporates a hardware watchdog mechanism that automatically resets the device if the controller fails to respond for 3 seconds.
This feature ensures continuous operation, critical for remote observatories.
Electronic Protection Systems
Features sophisticated short circuit protection, overload protection per port, and Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) protection for all USB ports.
Software Features & Capabilities
Detailed Graphs
During your observing sessions, the control software records:
- voltage
- current
- temperature
- humidity data.
This monitoring creates complete records of conditions that help optimize your equipment setup. The software includes zoom-capable graphs and export functions that save data in PNG and CSV formats for analysis.
Automated Scheduling
The Ultimate Powerbox v3's advanced port management gives you complete control over individual power and USB outputs through programmable timers.
Each port can be scheduled as needed, while grouping features lets multiple ports be controlled together for automated equipment sequencing.
Recall Settings After Reboot
Startup configuration lets you define which power and USB outputs turn on when the system boots up. Custom settings are stored in memory and automatically applied every time you power on, eliminating manual setup for each observing session.
Reliable Power & Connectivity for Your Telescope Setup
Reliable Power From High Quality Parts
The Ultimate Powerbox v3 delivers reliable power management with 10x12V DC outputs supporting up to 20A/240W total capacity.
6 of these are intelligent, software-controlled outputs using MOSFET technology, each handling up to 6A in either constant 12V or pulse-width modulation modes, ideal for unstable power sources.
Built-in safeguards monitor every port for short circuits or overloads, cutting power automatically when needed.
For critical gear, 2 always-on 12V outputs ensure uninterrupted power.
The unit also includes 2 variable outputs adjustable in software:
- 3–12V regulated port (3A).
- 12–24V regulated port (4A).
A heavy-duty relay supports AC devices up to 250V/10A and precision meters track voltage and current, with automatic shutdown protection kicking in if input rises above 14.5V.
Multiple USB Ports for Even the Most Complex Systems
The Ultimate Powerbox v3 includes an industrial-grade USB hub with 8 software-controllable ports.
- 6xUSB 3.1 SuperSpeed ports ensure fast data transfer while staying fully backward compatible with USB 2.0.
- 2xdedicated USB 2.0 ports provide stable connections for devices that don’t need high-speed performance.
Each port supplies up to 2.5A, making them useful for both powering devices and charging. Built for observatory conditions, the hub operates reliably from -40 °F to 176 °F (-40°C to 80°C).
Safety features include protection against short circuits, electrostatic discharge, and overloads.
Precise Control. From Anywhere!
A useful feature of the Ultimate PowerBox v3 is its ability to provide individual software control over each port's power and data connections. Great for remote observatory setups or a backyard rig during cold winter nights at home. The ability to troubleshoot your connections remotely use to require much more technical prowess.
All of this control is managed through traditional USB connections or through the built-in wireless connections using any device on the same network as the Powerbox. Simply type upbv3.local into your web browser, and you are given immediate access to the full suite of connections just like in the app.
Stepper Motor Control for Most Autofocusers
The integrated stepper motor controller provides precise focusing control, silent operation, and minimal vibration for astrophotography sessions. The controller accommodates both unipolar and bipolar designs, and rather than forcing you to use their own brand of focuser, the UPBv3 allows for popular focuser systems across many other brands, including Rigel, Robofocus, Moonlight, and Starlight Instruments (so long as your motor of choice draws less than 2amps per coil).
Because each manufacturer uses different motor pinout configurations, proper cable selection is essential for compatibility when configuring your Ultimate PowerBox v3. Once connected, you can control every parameter of the focus motor, all the way down to adjustable backlash compensation.
The Smartest Dew Heater on the Market
The dew management system on the Ultimate PowerBox features 3 dedicated outputs. These use pulse width modulation technology (at 3KHz), with each channel delivering up to 3 amps of power through high-quality RCA connectors. Pegasus has a top-of-the-line AutoDew feature that automatically calculates the ideal heating levels to prevent dew or frost. It uses real-time data from integrated temperature and humidity sensors, eliminating the need for guesswork or trial and error.
This intelligent system continuously monitors ambient conditions and adjusts heating intensity to maintain optical surfaces just above the dew point temperature. This keeps the dew prevention system from impacting image quality and makes it more energy-efficient. Like the rest of the ports on the UPBv3, the dew heater ports can be controlled remotely.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Power Supply Do I Need For The Ultimate Powerbox v3?
The UPBv3 requires a 12V-14V DC power supply with an XT60 male connector. We recommend a supply capable of at least 20A to make full use of the unit's 240W capacity.
Can I Control The UPBv3 Without A Computer?
Yes! The UPBv3 creates its own Wi-Fi hotspot and can be controlled from any device with a web browser by navigating to "upbv3.local" – no additional software installation required.
What Stepper Motor Focusers Are Compatible?
The UPBv3 can drive nearly any stepper motor focuser on the market up to 2 Amps per coil, including popular models from Pegasus Astro, ZWO, and other manufacturers.
How Does The AutoDew Feature Work?
AutoDew uses the built-in temperature and humidity sensors to calculate the dew point and automatically adjusts the PWM output to your dew heaters, preventing both under-heating and over-heating.
Is The UPBv3 Suitable For Permanent Outdoor Installation?
While the UPBv3 operates in temperatures from -40 °F to 176 °F (-40°C to 80°C), it's designed for observatory use rather than permanent weather exposure. Proper protection from direct weather is recommended.
