TT EZ Norm from Switchcraft

Switchcraft, the US manufacturer of connectors and patchbays for audio and broadcast professionals, has launched a range of 96-way TT patchbays in which the normals for each jack can be changed from the front of the panel simply by using a screwdriver. Named TT EZ Norm, the patchbays are supplied with 48 modules each containing two jacks manufactured using Switchcraft's industry-proven contacts and switches. At the front of each module is a small screw which can be used to change the normalling to any setting – full, half or non-normalled. The screws have a strong detent spring and are covered by a plastic strip to prevent unwanted changes.

Suitable for analogue or digital signals, the patchbays can be supplied wired or unwired and in three rack heights – 1U, 1.5U and 2U. Unwired patchbays have jacks with solder or wire-wrap terminals and are available with the choice of tie-bars or support trays for cabling. Wired patchbays have internal connections made with 110ohm cable and are terminated on the rear panel to EDAC, Cannon DL, Switchcraft's punch-down (IDC style) terminals or 3-pin connectors.
