Abcs Of DIN Rail Fiber Optic Patch Panel

By Lucia Weeks


A patchbay is, in many areas of wired data transmission (eg audio, telephone and video technology or computer networks) a technical device to simplify wiring, where usually several devices are connected, their compounds comfortable using short patch cable may be prepared and changed with attached to front bushings (DIN Rail Fiber Optic Patch Panel).

While in functionally similar cross rails or switching networks, the sources and destinations are created as a matrix and thus arbitrarily can be switched together (n: m), can be associated with patchbays normally only ever a source to a destination (1: 1). The rear is not accessible usually in normal operating on the plug-fields vary - depending on the desired signal quality and ease of remapping are (single or multi-core) connectors, spring terminals or solder tags used.

The use of patchbay is rather large in entertainment industry and more particularly in television, and is also widely used in computer networks. Disconnection video signals of mobile direction. Note on left a series of panels not normalized with fittings inserted and, in blue, a rope. Each type wiring is suitable in principle to use of patchbay. Depending on type signal, changes the type cable that carries it and the type connector used. Common examples of patchbay are: Video signals over coaxial cable 75. There are different specifications depending on type video.

In building technology patchbays (there usually referred to as patchbay) used to interconnect all distributed over a larger area terminal connections to a central point can. To facilitate handling and to increase the clarity, patchbays, certain signaling pathways have pre-configured internally connected without plugging the cable.

This is useful, for example when the microphone input of a mixer, where, according to microphone often a preamplifier (integrated in mixer or external), an equalizer and a compressor in a row are connected. Each trail with each other via a socket pair distribution box is completed, the output of previous device is usually above, the input of next down.

The types of looping through is customizable with many devices from the user, it can switch to happen the exchange of individual modules or soldering. The signal is looped through to a normalized pair of sockets without plugging the cable via an internal bridge from education to entrance. If a connector is performed in one of two sockets, the bridge will be interrupted.

Jacks are connected as in normalized variant unpatched state. However, it is only separated in a bush shows the default signal when plugged in, the second drags the signal is always through. In general, the input is interpreted divisive, to allow the (exclusive) feeding another source, while the output jack, the signal both branched into patch cord, towards the entrance; However, this passive division may be associated with the level and quality loss.

There is a firm connection between all bushings, which is not interrupted by cable plugging. This makes it possible to derive from the stereo sum of mixer, the signals for a recording device. With an open configuration exists between the two jacks on no electrical contact. The patchbay or disconnector is a system that interfaces between them different sections of a wiring. Typically consists of a series of perforated panels on the back of which are radiused sections wiring. Between a hole and the other, that is, by two sections, it is possible to realize a connection via a length of cable, also called a patch cord or rope.
