 Pro Patch™ Programmable Series
Broadcast Products High-Density Patching Systems

The new patented Pro Patch™ Programmable modular system offers unprecedented reliability and flexibility
in a convenient, space-saving size and lightweight package. Specifically engineered for every day use in
demanding mobile trucks, the Pro Patch Programmable system is the only product in its class that passes
stringent MIL-STD-202F standards for vibration and environmental requirements.
The Pro Patch Programmable bantam system is a WECO-standard module in a high-density (2x48)
one- rack space panel. The new 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 off-line or removing it from the
rack. Each module 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
of the jacks from convection plenum action common in rack-mounted systems.
The Pro Patch Programmable series is available in several termination options including EDAC/ELCO 3-pin,
56-pin, 90-pin and AMP “champ” 50-pin connectors in both an eight-connector version for audio and a
four-connector version for RTS/Clear-Comtype intercom systems. Only five inches deep and 6.2 pounds
fully configured, the Pro Patch 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 – the largest designation on the market, plus markers.

With the introduction of the new Pro Patch high-density series, ADC continues to bring you the best
performing, highest quality audio patching products in the broadcast market.

QCP Termination System

Time-saving QCP II and QCP IV Termination System

Innovative QCP connectors can really speed up an

installation. No need to spend time prepping wires
and laboriously soldering and crimping connector
pins. Just insert the wire and punch. In one motion
you have a reliable gastight connection, even with
multiple wires. The unique patented design holds
wire far more securely than telco-type punchdowns,

preventing intermittents.
MKII panels use QCP II individual terminal insulators,
which allow greater density and can be replaced
individually. MKIV panels use QCP IV 1x8 terminal
blocks insulated on both the front and back of the QCP IV Connections
panel to prevent shorts.

Features

ADC’s exclusive, patented QCP II and QCP IV split-cylinder punchdown termination system is faster and
easier to install and more reliable than any other termination system, including solder.
• Dependable, durable, split-cylinder design holds up to three stranded or solid wires, 22 to 26 gauge
(0.32 mm to 0.128 mm)
• No intermittents with gastight connections. Uniform split channel width holds each wire firmly, unlike
telco punchdowns with V-shaped channels or soldered connections that use flux and may have unreliable
solder joints
• Easy prelacing makes installation faster. Color-coding prevents wiring mistakes
102117AE

• Labor-saving punch terminates and cuts wire in one simple motion. QCP IV installs even faster because
you don’t have to orient the tool before punching
• Faster and easier changes in circuits or normals than soldered connector systems. Rated for up to
200 insertions/withdrawals
• QCP II terminations are individually mounted and insulated for easy repair or replacement
• QCP IV terminations are mounted in 1x8 blocks insulated on both sides of the panel. This design, plus
the recessed conductors, eliminates shorts

High-Performance Audio Patch Cords

Pro Patch™ audio patch cords are engineered for
flawless performance and durability. Nickel plating
protects plugs against corrosion and ensures
smooth insertion, and the exclusive dielectric
compound between conductors provides low
Broadcast Products

capacitance for the best signal performance. The

flexible cord drapes neatly without kinking, and
the plug is molded directly onto the cord for
outstanding strain relief.
All ADC patch cords are designed to meet MIL-
P642 and are machined after molding for perfect
cocentricity, ensuring consistent, reliable jack
operation.

Features

• Meets demanding MIL-J641 and MIL-P642 standards for plug compliance

• Precision WECO 310 (longframe) and bantam plugs assure proper jack performance
• Quad-star construction for low noise performance
• Models for analog or digital audio
• Standard lengths from 2 feet (.6 m) to 6 feet (1.8 m). Other lengths available on request
• Colors include red, green, blue, or black. Some cords also available in yellow or gray
• Conversion patch cords for RS-422 to RJ45 are found on page 16. (Conversion patch cords for

fatigue and poor contact, and precision-molded insulators. For a closer look at the outstanding design of
our audio jacks, see the overview on page 24.
