RS-422 Modules
The UniPatch
®
Category 3 compliant RS-422
module raises the standard in machine control
patching with its quality and robust design. Now
you can patch machine control data properly
using reliable, durable, military-grade jacks rated
for 30,000 insertion/withdrawal cycles. Each
circuit switches all ten pins, making the module
fully SMPTE 207M compliant. Compared to other
systems employing light-duty RJ45 connectors
rated at fewer than 500 insertion/withdrawal
cycles or bantam jacks that do not switch all
signal lines, the UniPatch RS-422 module is a
significant advance in machine control patching.
Features
The standard in professional data patching
Durable military-grade switch system rated for 30,000 insertion/withdrawal cycles. Unlike RJ45 systems,
suitable for heavy daily professional use.
Fully SMPTE 207M compliant circuits switch all ten pins, unlike bantam systems, which do not switch all
ground pins, potentially causing problems
Tough military-grade, gold-plated switch with long cantilever beam springs and unique self-wiping contacts
ensures against premature wear and provides positive contact force
RS-422 cards offer the highest density available. Up to 32 modules in two rack units for 33 percent
greater density
Normalled or non-normalled cards available
Modular termination options: Dsub9, DB-25, EDAC 90-pin plug, QCP II, Ultra Patch, standard-density,
24 per frame, or Dsub9 high-density, 32 per frame (requires thin shell strain relief)
Keyed for proper patch cord orientation
Category 3 compliant for 10 Base-T data
