Hello.

My EQ8R Pro doesn't want to power my asiair with its power out ports. Why is that and what can be done? My mount gets 5A trough the power cable.

 

Any ideas?

Are  you sure you have the proper power cable? 5mm x 2.1mm and 5mm x 2.5mm plugs look very similar.

You need a second power cable that plug to the RA panel to power the hub.
