Extremely sleek 1/4" Patch Panel with grounding possibility offering 2 rows of balanced sockets, a total of 24 front pairs and 24 rear pairs fully PCB-wired (without nut fastening), 1U 19" rack-mount and identification strips for front and rear panel included.

Design Criteria

The NYS-SPP-L1 is a economical and remarkable sleek designed 1/4'' modular Patch Panel for 19'' rack mount (19'' x 1U) with a reinforced metal housing. Each of it's 48 PCB wired balanced channels (24 front pairs and corresponding 24 rear pairs) can either be grounded separately or in groups of inividually chooseable channel numbers.

The PCBs are held securely in place by being clamped between the front and the rear panel, this grants an easy reconfiguration of the Patch Panel without the danger of loosing any small parts (e.g. nuts). The grey jack serves as an easy and distinguishable normalling identification.

Standard configuration, when delivered, is Half Normalled bottom row. The configuration can easily be changed by just flipping the individual PCB. Inserting a plug into the grey jack will always isolate the top against the bottom row. Alternative solution for send/return applications by use of NYS-SPCR1 module.

Grounding

The flexible grounding system, applicable for each channel separately by simply attaching the loose supplied grounding clips to the grounding pad of the corresponding channel, offers the following alternatives:

• Individual (without grounding clip): Each channel ground (sleeve contact) is connected to the dedicated ground contact of the incoming 1/4” plug only. This is the standard configuration for delivery.
• Chassis common: The relevant channel grounds (sleeve contacts; top and bottom row) are connected to the ground flat tab via grounding clip and chassis.
• Chassis top: The dedicated top channel ground (sleeve contact) is connected to the ground flat tab via grounding clip and chassis.
• Chassis bottom: The dedicated bottom channel ground (sleeve contact) is connected to the ground flat tab via grounding clip and chassis.
