Why do Tableau bridges have two different input power connectors?

0

When Tableau designed its family of forensic bridges it set out to create the most versatile forensic bridges on the market. In some situations it is more convenient to draw power for the bridge directly from the “Molex” power connector, i.e., the cable/connector from the power supply that was originally supplying power to the subject hard disk. In other situations it is more convenient to use an external AC/DC power adapter. Tableau forensic bridges support both modes of operation. The “DC In A” connector accepts power from the Tableau TP1 power supply, an external AC/DC adapter. The “DC In B” connector accepts power from the traditional Molex power connector. In either case, Tableau bridges can supply power to the subject hard disk by way of the “DC Out” connector on the Tableau bridge. The power switch at the top of the Tableau bridges selects which DC In source is in use at any one time, and also serves as a master ON/OFF switch for both the Tableau bridge and the hard disk connect
