Bob Zelin – RS422 Patch Panel?

[Todd Sali]

Does anyone see the coupler type patch panel on monoprice? I’m only finding the wired type.

also – would this (RJ45 ABCD 4Way, Switch Box) work if there is only 1 device to be shared? – 1 deck shared by 3 or 4 systems for example:

Thanks,
Todd

I don’t see why not. Same idea as the panel Bob recommended to me, just with the hard switch on the front. I followed Bob’s Pin wiring plan on all my connectors and would recommend you do the same.

the problem with the ABCD switch is not the RS422 – you have to get your audio and video from the VTR into all 4 systems as well. This means patch bays or a router.
