Bittree's High-Density
Keystone Data Patchbays
S

upporting
the
accelerating
adoption of data-based systems
in broadcast and professional A/V
environments, Bittree is bringing a
versatile array of flush-mount, highdensity, modular keystone panels to
NAB Show.
Available in fibre, copper and mixed
configurations with a flexible choice of
connection types, the new data patch
panels will be demonstrated alongside
the company's latest video and audio
patchbay innovations at the show.
Accommodating inserts with up to a
17mm pitch, Bittree's space-friendly
1RU data panels deliver the industry's
highest keystone density, offering
1x24 in a single, non-staggered row
with plenty of room for the included
bar-and-cap front designation strip.
Keystone jacks mount flush with the
surface of the panel, interfering less
during patching than protruding
alternatives.
The
folded-steel
front
panel

construction is complemented by
removable, securely-attached rear
lacing bars, while the units' entire
nickel-plated rear panel serves as
a ground plane for shielded and
bonded applications when used with
corresponding modular jacks in copper
configurations.
Bittree's high-density keystone
panels support a multitude of
connectivity options including ST,
LC and SC fibre, plus RJ45 CAT6 and
CAT6A punchdown or feed-through,
shielded or unshielded adapters. The
panels are available in multiple preconfigured models, or can be fully
customised with any combination of
connectors. Custom configurations
can even accommodate both fibre and
copper connections in a single panel,
ideal for maximising space efficiency
in small-scale deployments.
Fibre-equipped
panel
configurations
support
both
multi-mode and single-mode fibre

applications, and are fully compliant
with ANSI/TIA-568-C and UL1863
communications standards. Zirconia
(ceramic) alignment sleeves enable
compatibility with angle polished
cables. LC fibre modules are
available in a choice of blue or green,
supporting the telecommunications
industry's convention of colour-coding
connectors to indicate the type of
polished fibre behind them.
Four copper connectivity options
incorporate nickel-plated phosphor
bronze contacts with gold overplate, and exceed ANSI/TIA-568-C.2
requirements.
RJ45-to-RJ45
feed-through and RJ45-to-110 IDC
Punchdown interface modules are
available in shielded or non-shielded
variants.

Shielded
CAT6A
punchdown
modules are designed to suppress
internal magnetic coupling up to a
bandwidth of 500MHz and feature a
180-degree jack design that enables
tool-less termination within 90
seconds. They incorporate die-cast,
nickel-plated, zinc clamshell housings
for transferring the shields to the
backplane, while the shielded CAT6
feed-through modules use stainlesssteel shells with spring clips that
mate against RJ45 plugs. Using the
modules' shielding in conjunction
with the panels' advanced design
minimises EMI ingress and outgress,
while
simultaneously
increasing
channel bandwidth capacity, allowing
these products to meet the demanding
grounding and bonding requirements
of military applications.
The
high-density,
flush-mount
keystone modular panels are available
immediately through the Bittree
website and the company's extensive
network of authorised resellers and
systems integrators.
