DESCRIPTION |

|
Ace Backstage Co. Inc.'s medium-sized Stage Pocket, the Half Stage Pocket, is a standard general use vertical slant panel flush stage pocket. The Half Stage Pocket is made of heavy duty steel and may be used to conceal audio, communications, control, data, electric AC power, switches, video, and voice connections etc. below the floor surface for easy access and to prevent connector damage. The Half Stage Pocket has a medium capacity inter-changeable panel system which permits easy custom connector/panel configurations.
The Half Stage Pocket has the panel capacity for either:
• (1) #PNL-100 Series "Connectrix" Panels or
• (1) #PSW-100 Series Switchcraft® Panels or
• (1) #PE Series Single Gang Electric Duplex Switch Box Panels
The Half Stage Pocket has the connector capacity for either:
• (6) "Connectrix" Connectors or
• (6) Neutrik® Connectors or
• (6) Switchcraft® Connectors or
• (1) #PE Single Gang Electric Duplex Switch Box Panel
Utilizing ACE's "Connectrix" System will allow mounting of up to 6 "Connectrix", Neutrik®, Switchcraft®, and/or Custom Connectors in the Half Stage Pocket. All ACE Half Stage Pockets are welded steel construction, with a 1/8" (nominally 11 ga. (.120")) thick CRS steel Lid and Mounting Flange and a 16 ga. (.062") thick Pocket Body. The Half Stage Pocket resists bending under even the most severe stage loads.
Removable spring loaded hinge pins permits easy exchange of lids for carpet lids, locking lids, standard lids, and other custom application lids. A generous cable way slot of 3/8" x 4" permits easy cable exit from the stage pocket, even for large gauge cables. A cableway slot closure channel closes the slot when not in use. The Half Stage Pocket has an easy installation into 4.75" x 8.5" cutout in the stage floor. Open easy access from top or back of the Half Stage Pocket to connector panels makes for easy installation.
A scratch/wear resistant finish, oven cured powder coat is electro-staticly applied inside and outside the entire Stage Pocket. Decorator neutral Antique Copper Vein or Textured Black finishes are standard. A Solid Brass Lid and Mounting Flange as well as Solid Stainless Steel Lid and Mounting Flange are also available by special order. The Half Stage Pocket's solid rubber Lid Stops cradle the lid to prevent lid rattle.

“CONNECTRIX” SYSTEM PANEL DESCRIPTION
Many pre-cut stock #PNL-100 Series “Connectrix” System connector panels and #PSW-100 Series Switchcraft® connector panels are available for the Half Stage Pocket. Standard "Connectrix" and Switchcraft® Panels are created from high strength, tough, aircraft aluminum alloy (6061-T6) that is 1/16" (.062") or 1/8" (.125") thick. The standard panels mount with (4 or 6) self-tapping screws. Each panel is CNC machined to precisely mate with the designated connectors and in the pocket mounting holes. Each Standard "Connectrix" and Switchcraft® Panel is finished with oven cured semi-gloss black powder coat.
Most panels provide header space for custom engraving which is fast and easily accomplished on a separate dedicated CNC engraving machine. The finished panels show bright aluminum in the engraved characters and need not be back filled. ACE standard panels are flat, strong, and rigid like the typical thinner mild steel panels. Because the panels are machined and not punched they stay flat and undistorted unlike punched panels which distort in the punching process. The machined “Connectrix” style cutouts combine popular mounting patterns of the Neutrik “D” series and Switchcraft “E” series connectors with a generous rectangular cutout that mates with a growing array of adapter-mounted standard connectors. The adapter mount is plastic and provides ground isolation between the panel and connector.
Using the “Connectrix” system panel it is possible to mount any combination of modular jacks (RJ45, RJ11 etc.), BNCs, dual RCAs, mic jacks, speaker jacks and numerous other standard connectors without a single custom punch. This system provides for more connectors and mounting options in stock standard ACE panels. The benefit is faster order turn around and lower cost. Less custom fabrication for custom spec results with off-the-shelf stock prices.
