Wiring Terminations
Due to the jumper blocks capability provided, the switching
configurations available per jack channel are:
L
Half Normalled Bottom Row
L
Full Normalled
L
Parallel
L
Isolated
The TB Panel is delivered in a full normalled configuration
for each jack channel. A non-configurable half normalled ("-
HN") bottom row version with solder lugs is also available.
NOTE: Take care when handling digital signals. Do not use
Parallel configuration and avoid other parallel paths with
Half / Double Normalled configurations. Parallel paths may
lead to mismatching.
The flexible grounding system allows four possibilities to fit your needs:
L
Individual: Each channel ground is separately connected with the corresponding cable shield (default configuration).
L
Group: Some channel grounds are PCB connected by making soldering joints on the PCB and by cutting tracks
respectively to form a group that is connected to one common cable shield.
L
Central: All channel grounds are PCB connected by making soldering joints and wired with only one cable shield.
L
Chassis-Common: Same as central grounding with additional connection of the common ground to the Patch
Panel chassis by means of a jumper.
TB Patch Panels are available with:
L
Spring loaded push terminals (NPP-TB)
L
Solder lugs (NPP-TB-HN)
The spring loaded terminal blocks are fast and easy to connect and disconnect the wires.
No soldering and screwing necessary. Simply insert the stripped wire after pressing down the white key.
Accommodates stranded wires up to AWG 20 (0.5 mm
2
) and solid wires up to AWG 18 (0.75 mm
2
).
The TB Patch Panel is a very robust and compactly designed
Patch Panel for 19" rack mount (19" x 1U) with galvanized
metal housing, a built-in cable bar on the rear for securing
wires. There is a rear extension bar (NPP-S) available as an
option for some panel types. On the front side we have an
attractive additional lettering facility for each channel pair with
a marking strip and individual snap-on colour coding plates.
The NPP is easily programmable for six switching configura
-
tions and for changing the flexible grounding system. All
panels have the high quality long life gold plated Neutrik
®
NJ6TB-V Jack for the BPO / MIL style plugs. We have two
variants of rear connection. The standard is equipped with
spring loaded terminals strips and an optional version offers
solder lugs.
