ADC ProPatch User Manual
ProPatch® Programmable Series
High-Density Patching System
The ProPatch® Programmable modular system offers unprecedented reliability and flexibility in a
convenient, space-saving size and lightweight package. Specifically engineered for everyday use
in demanding mobile trucks, the ProPatch Programmable system is the only product in its class
that passes stringent MIL-STD-202F standards for vibration and environmental requirements.
The ProPatch Programmable bantam system is a WECO-standard module in a high-density 2x48
one rack space panel. The longframe system is a WECO-standard module in either a 2x24 or
high-density 2x32 one rack space configuration. The modular design allows individual front
jack access for circuit and ground configurations without having to take the entire panel offline
or removing it from the rack. Each modular jack features WECO gold crossbar contacts that
provide self-cleaning action and maximize reliability. Jack modules are also individually sealed
which prevents dust and contamination from convection plenum action common in rack
mounted systems.
The ProPatch Programmable series is available with a variety of termination options including
QCP punchdown, LSA-PLUS
and 50-pin AMP “champ” connectors, in both an eight-connector version for audio and a fourconnector version for RTS/ClearCom type intercom systems.
Only five inches deep and 6.2 pounds fully configured, the ProPatch Programmable series is
unmatched in the marketplace. Using ADC’s patent-pending escutcheon kit, the one rack unit
panel can be converted to a 1.5 rack unit configuration. This allows the use of ADC’s ultra-large
designation strips, providing room for three lines of text, plus markers—the largest designations

on the market.

Individual Jack Access
Each ProPatch® Programmable panel features
individual jack cards. Cards contain an individual
circuit pair of jacks, front panel circuit status
snap-in icon, and seven-position gold plated
sealed DIP switch for normal and ground
configuration. The gold-plated header card
plugs and sockets contained in the chassis
ensure maximum reliability.
To remove a jack, remove the top and bottom
designation strips, push down the locking tab
on the jack module and slide the module out
from the front of the chassis. It is not necessary
to remove the entire panel from the rack, or
the cover from the chassis. Unauthorized circuit
changes are eliminated because switches are
hidden from front panel view.
The ProPatch Programmable system is the
only product in its class that passes demanding
MIL-202 environmental testing for thermal
shock, resistance from moisture contamination,
plating corrosion from salt fog, and vibration
to simulate long-term fixed installation and
over-the-road use.
ProPatch Programmable panel allows individual frontpanel jack access for normals and grounds without
having to take the entire panel off-line. Special 7-position
DIP switches allows configuration of the circuit normal
and grounds without cumbersome jumpers or pins to
lose. (See-through cover in photo is for demonstration
purposes only.)
