UniPatch® Modular System
Overview
The UniPatch® modular patching system with universal chassis allows you to combine data, audio,
and video patching modules in a single two-rack-unit modular panel. Order a mix of jack and backplane
modules to create a totally custom patching system, or order a preconfigured panel RS-422 data jacks.
You can start with only a few modules and add or change modules as needed. The universal chassis
with mix-and-match jack and backplane modules provides the ultimate in flexibility.
Modular Chassis for
Unprecedented Flexibility
Loaded UniPatch Chassis
Features
Jacks and backplanes have a modular design •
and t into the rugged high-density card cage
chassis. Just plug in a module to add more
jacks or backplane connectors
Modularity lets you start small and add •
modules and cards as needed
Individual circuits are easily replaced without •
disturbing other circuits
Backplanes available in high-density 64-circuit •
bantam audio, high-density 32-port data,
standard-density 24-port data, and video
options
Gold-plated card edge connectors tested to •
withstand heavy use and vibration
Shallow 7" deep chassis is perfect for •
mobile applications

Backplane Options (mix-and-match)
Ten different backplane connector types are available, and because they come in modular units, they
can be mixed and matched like the jack modules. Each backplane supports up to eight jack modules.

UniPatch® Modular System
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•

UniPatch® Modular System
Bantam Audio Modules
The bantam audio jack modules for the
UniPatch
®
system are perfectly designed
for professional digital and analog audio
applications. Up to 32 modules plug into
the UniPatch chassis to provide a 64-circuit
(128 jacks) configuration when fully loaded,
matching typical router configurations. Each
module contains two circuits and four WECOstandard precision bantam jacks designed for
long life. High-performance switches allow
flexible normalling and grounds for each circuit.
Large .440" x .325" designations provide
enough room for three lines of text.
Features
High-density, selectable normals, and excellent reliability•
33 percent higher density than conventional frame-type bantam bays. Up to 32 cards in a frame with •
2 circuits (4 jacks) per card for a total of 64 circuits (128 jacks)
32-across spacing exactly matches typical router congurations and provides larger designation area•
Switch-selectable normals and grounds for each circuit: normals strapped (NS), half-normal (HN), bussed •
ground (BG), or no normals (NN)
WECO-standard jacks meet or exceed MIL-STD-202 for mechanical durability as well as corrosion, salt spray, •
thermal shock, moisture resistance, and vibration
Precision-molded housing and sturdy, integrated all metal springs rated for 10,000 insertion/withdrawal •
cycles. Gold crossbar, self-cleaning contacts ensure a positive connection
Modular termination options: QCP II, EDAC 3-pin plug, EDAC 90-pin plug, DB-25, AMP Champ 50-pin •
receptacle, or QCP IV with 4-foot umbilical Ultra Patch panel
Snap-on designation holders accept individual labels without tools; conventional chassis-wide designation •
strips are also available. Large designations provide enough room for three lines of text
