Patch Panels are central switching gears between audio
equipments. They are used to switch and route analog anddigital audio signals from and to equipments in recordingor broadcast studios, OB vans, churches, theatres, stadiums,
arenas, etc.
Neutrik ® Patch Panels are available in a varety of jack types,
wiring and grounding possibilities.
Common versions accommodating Bantam TT, 1/4“ A-gauge
and longframe B-gauge jacks on the front rows are available.
The mechanical size is designed to fit into 1U 19“ standard
racks. All Neutrik patch panels offer various normalling
possibilities between top and bottom row.
All Neutrik ® Patch Panels are able to handle digital audio
signals acc. AES3, 48kHz sampling rate.

Audio Normalling
Audio Normalling is used within audio patch panels andis a wiring pattern in which a circuit path is establishedfrom one piece of audio equipment to another without
the use of a patch cord. This pattern is then considered tobe the "normal" circuit path that is desired most of thetime. If a patch cord is inserted, the normal circuit path isinterrupted and rerouted to a different circuit path.
Normalled patch panels are most commonly found invertical jack pairs: the top jack is designated as the source
and the bottom jack is the destination.
Normalling example: HALF NORMALLED BOTTOM ROWThis is the most common
configuration, very often called
HALF NORMALLED. In thisconfiguration internal normalling
contacts connect the top jackS
R
Tcontact with the corresponding
bottom jack contact. Insertinga plug in the bottom jack willinterrupt this internal
normalling connection, whileS
inserting a patch cordT into the top jack doesn‘t interrupt
R
the circuit. (Can be used to monitor the normallingTN
circuit)S

Other versions of normalling include Half Normalled Top

Design Criteria
All NPPA patch panels are fitted with high quality, long life
NJ3TTA gold plated double contact jacks (2x48), featuring best
contact integrity. The unit, robustly housed in a black coatedsteel shell, is finished off with a built in cable bar and two large
channel identification strips for perfect management of thesystem. The NPPA patch panels are an innovative and compact
patching system (just 1U high) for 19" rack mounting.

Configuration
The standard version of the NPPA Panel is delivered bottom row
half normalled for each jack pair by default. Further patch versions are available with fully loaded jack-pairs as:• Full Normalled• Half Normalled• Isolated• Parallel
Half Normalled Bottom

For individual normalling single pre-configured jack-pairs
are offered.
NPPA-TT-IDC is equipped with jumper blocks for individual
switching configurations of each jack channel.
Note: Take care when handling digital signals. Do not use
parallel configuration and avoid other parallel paths whenusing half normalled configurations. Parallel paths may leadto mismatching.

The flexible grounding system provides the following versions:• Individual: Each channel is individually grounded by its corresponding cable shield (default configuration).
• Group: Selected channel grounds are connected via the ground bus on the PCB using solder bridges and track cuts to form a		 group that is connected to one common cable shield.
• Central: All channel grounds (individual top and bottom row) are connected via the ground bus on the PCB using solder 				 bridges and wired with only one cable shield.
• Chassis-Common: The same as central grounding but with the addition of the common ground bus (top and / or bottom 				 rows) connected to the patch panel chassis by means of jumpers

W i r i n g Te r m i n a t i o n s
TT patch panels offer different choices of wiring:• Spring loaded push terminals• 56 pin Elco/Edac male connectors• 90 pin Elco/Edac connectors• 50 pin D-SUB connectors• 25 pin D-SUB connectors• IDC-Krone terminals• Solder lugs

The spring loaded terminal blocks enable fast and easy wiring. No soldering and screwing necessary. Simply insert the
stripped wire after pressing down the white key. Terminals
accommodate stranded wires up to AWG 20 (0.5 mm2) andsolid wires up to AWG 18 (0.75 mm2). Push terminals aregas tight connections.

Design Criteria
The NPP-TB patch panels are equipped with gold plated,high quality long life NJ6TB-V Jacks for BPO/MIL styleplugs. The panels are easily programmable for six switching
configurations and offer a flexible grounding system.
The NPP-TB patch panels are very robust and compactly
designed for 19" rack mount (19" x 1U) with galvanized
metal housing and a built-in cable bar on the rear for
securing wires. There is a rear extension bar (NPP-S)
available as an option. On the front side there is an

attractive additional lettering area for each channel pairwith a marking strip and individual snap-on colour coding
plates.

Configuration
Due to the jumper blocks capability provided, the switching
configurations available per jack channel are:
• Half Normalled Bottom Row• Full Normalled• Parallel• Isolated

Half Normalled Bottom

Half Normalled Top

Full Normalled

The TB Panel is delivered in a full normalled configurationfor each jack channel. A non-configurable half normalled("-HN") bottom row version with solder lugs is also available.
NOTE: Take care when handling digital signals. Do not use
Parallel configuration and avoid other parallel paths withHalf / Double Normalled configurations. Parallel paths maylead to mismatching.
Parallel

Isolated

Double Normalled

Grounding
The flexible grounding system allows four possibilities to fit your needs:• Individual: Each channel ground is separately connected with the corresponding cable shield (default configuration).
• Group: Some channel grounds are PCB connected by making soldering joints on the PCB and by cutting tracks 				 respectively to form a group that is connected to one common cable shield.
• Central: All channel grounds are PCB connected by making soldering joints and wired with only one cable shield.
• Chassis-Common: Same as central grounding with additional connection of the common ground to the Patch 					 Panel chassis by means of a jumper.

W i r i n g Te r m i n a t i o n s
TB patch panels are available with:• Spring loaded push terminals (NPP-TB)• Solder lugs (NPP-TB-HN)
The spring loaded terminal blocks are fast and easy to connect and disconnect the wires.
No soldering and screwing necessary. Simply insert the stripped wire after pressing down the white key.
Accommodates stranded wires up to AWG 20 (0.5 mm2) and solid wires up to AWG 18 (0.75 mm2).

Design Criteria
The PCBs are held securely in place by being clamped
between the front and the rear panel, this grants an easyreconfiguration of the patch panel without the danger ofloosing any small parts (e.g. nuts). The grey jack serves as aneasy and distinguishable normalling identification.

The NYS-SPP-L1 is a economical and remarkable sleek
designed 1/4“ modular patch panel for 19“ rack mount (19“x 1U) with a reinforced metal housing. Each of it‘s 48 PCB
wired balanced channels (24 front pairs and corresponding 24 rear pairs) can either be grounded separately or ingroups of inividually chooseable channel numbers (detailed
information see below).

Configuration
Standard configuration, when delivered, is Half Normalled
bottom row. The configuration can easily be changed byjust flipping the individual PCB. Inserting a plug into thegrey jack will always isolate the top against the bottom row.
Alternative solution for send / return applications by use of
NYS-SPCR1 module (see accessories below).

Grounding
The flexible grounding system, applicable for each channel separately by simply attaching the loose supplied grounding clips
to the grounding pad of the corresponding channel, offers the following alternatives:• Individual (without grounding clip): Each channel ground (sleeve contact) is connected to the dedicated groundcontact of the incoming 1/4” plug only. This is the standard configuration for delivery.
• Chassis common : The relevant channel grounds (sleeve contacts; top and bottom row) is connected to the 			ground flat tab via grounding clip and chassis.
• Chassis top : The dedicated top channel ground (sleeve contact) is connected to the ground flat tab via grounding
clip and chassis.
• Chassis bottom : The dedicated bottom channel ground (sleeve contact) is connected to the ground flat tab via
grounding clip and chassis.
