As a result, new and exciting products have been developed to enhance the performance and durability of your broadcast infrastructure. Pro Patch ™ Programmable Series The ultimate audio patch panel is now a reality The new Pro Patch Programmable patching system (patent number 6,875,060) combines the ruggedness and reliability of true WECO-compliant jacks with a precision DIP switch, enabling users to change normalling and grounds quickly and easily. Specifically designed for tough mobile environments, the ultra- lightweight Pro Patch Programmable panel weighs about six pounds and is only five-inches deep. It is available in both bantam and longframe styles. ProAx ™ Triaxial Camera Connectors For years, the industry has been locked into connector designs that are difficult to terminate, and even more difficult to field repair. ADC’s line of ProAx Triaxial Camera Connectors will change the way you think about this component forever. Field repairable center conductors eliminate the need to restrip. O-rings protect the signal path against moisture. The connectors have fewer parts to assemble and are compatible with the tooling you already own. Notched BNC An idea whose time has come, the notched BNC series from ADC makes it easy to spot BNC connectors that are not properly latched to BNC jacks. This is especially helpful with high-density coax panels such as ADC’s midsize video product offering where terminations are very tight, and in the back of dark racks. PPE Video Panels The PPE series standard, midsize, and MUSA panels are designed to offer ADC performance on a modest budget. The PPE series is offered with the same jack options as the full-featured PPI series. IEEE 1394a FireWire ® Patch Panel With the IEEE 1394a FireWire patch panel, patching FireWire digital video signals is as easy as regular audio and video. The panels offer a 24-port passive interconnection for industry compatible six-pin IEEE 1394a connectors. Products You’ve Been Waiting For 3/06 • 102117AE Broadcast Products 3 www.adc.com • +1-952-938-8080 • 1-800-726-4266 Introduction Features ADC’s exclusive, patented QCP II and QCP IV split-cylinder punchdown termination system is faster and easier to install and more reliable than any other termination system, including solder. • Dependable, durable, split-cylinder design holds up to three stranded or solid wires, 22 to 26 gauge (0.32 mm to 0.128 mm) • No intermittents with gastight connections. Uniform split channel width holds each wire firmly, unlike telco punchdowns with V-shaped channels or soldered connections that use flux and may have unreliable solder joints • Easy prelacing makes installation faster. Color-coding prevents wiring mistakes • Labor-saving punch terminates and cuts wire in one simple motion. New QCP IV installs even faster because you don’t have to orient the tool before punching • Faster and easier changes in circuits or normals than soldered connector systems. Rated for up to 200 insertions/withdrawals • QCP II terminations are individually mounted and insulated for easy repair or replacement • QCP IV terminations are mounted in 1x8 blocks insulated on both sides of the panel. This design, plus the recessed conductors, eliminates shorts Labor-Saving Quick Connect Punch Termination System The original twisted pair QCP termination system set a new standard, making punchdown wiring fast and reliable. The QCP IV system is an even faster, more robust punchdown system compatible with existing QCP tools. The new connectors come in 1x8 blocks insulated on both sides of the panel for better short protection. Because the connectors do not require the tool to be oriented before punching, the QCP IV system punches down instantly, saving you the laborious prewiring, soldering, and crimping required for connectorized panels. Many ADC products come with a choice of QCP II or QCP IV. Both are a tremendous improvement over solder or crimped connectorized systems, but each has its advantages. QCP II allows greater density and individual replacement. QCP IV is a more durable connector and does not require orienting the tool before punching.

When you plug in a patch cord, you break this “normal” circuit and create a temporary new circuit. Pro Patch ™ lets you select from a variety of normalling options. Programmable Normals (ProPatch Programmable and UniPatch only) Selectable normals allow the user to select any typical normal configuration by setting switches on an impedance-matched dip switch located on the individual audio card. Normals Strapped (fully normalled) In a fully normalled configuration, the normals of each jack in the top row are internally strapped to the normals of the jack below it with the tip (T), ring (R), and sleeve (S) contacts brought out to the rear panel terminations. At the rear panel, equipment is wired to the two jacks, creating a normal circuit. To break this normal connection, you insert a patch cord into either jack. Half-Normalled In a half-normalled configuration, the normals of the bottom jack are internally wired to the tip (T) and ring (R) connections of the top jack, and the tip, ring, and sleeve of both jacks are brought out to the rear terminations. Equipment is wired to the two jacks at the rear terminations, creating a normal circuit. Inserting a plug into the top jack monitors the circuit without breaking it, and inserting a plug into the bottom jack breaks the circuit. No Normals A panel without normals has jacks that are open (no normal connection) until patched. When the patch cord is inserted, the signal flows through the cord and jack to or from the equipment connected to the jack at the rear terminations. No normal patch panels require looping plugs (u-links) or patch cords to complete the circuit. Normals Out In this configuration normals are brought out to the rear terminations where you can strap them as you want them. Note that you cannot change the normalling on panels with internal normals because normalling is done at the jacks. Select the normals out option if you need the ability to change normals. Sleeve Normals Out Sleeve normals out are the same as normals out except that a sleeve normal is switched inside the jack in addition to tip and ring normals. The sleeve normal is also brought out and is typically used for a ground connection. Making it switchable allows grounds for different functions to be separated to prevent ground loops that produce audio hum. Bussed Grounds In a bussed-grounds configuration the ground connections of all jacks are brought out to the rear terminations and connected together. This provides a common ground for all jacks.
