UL Listed Super Connectrix Data Specs Specs

DESCRIPTION

Ace Backstage Co., Inc.'s high capacitiy use Super Horizontal Panel Stage Pockets are the same size as the ACE Full Pockets with Back Box except they provide almost 3X the "Connectivity" capacity using a Horizontal Panel Design. The basic construction incorporates 3 sub-assemblies: 1) A unique Trim-Bezel lid assembly with spring loaded hinge pins and hinged cableway slot closure that mounts directly to the Back Box, 2) A set of panel mounting and A.C. barrier isolation raceway brackets, and 3) Super Pocket Body (#BRK102BBX Back Box).

The Super Pocket features welded heavy duty steel construction, choice of 3 decorator oven cured powder coat finishes (for the trim-bezel lid assembly), 2 lid choices (Standard Lid (SL) and Carpet Lid (CL)), plus solid brass or stainless steel trim bezel lid assembly finishes. Add a host of stock prefabricated or custom audio, communications, control, data, electric, video, and voice panels and connectors for a complete Stage Pocket System. The in-floor appearance is the same as the Full Pocket.

The Super Stage Pocket has the panel capacity for either:
• (4) #PNL-100 Series "Connectrix" Panels or
• (4) #PSW-100 Series Switchcraft® Panels or
• (2) #PNL-120 Series "Connectrix" Panels or
• (1) #PNL-140 Series "Connectrix" Panel

The Super Stage Pocket has the connector capacity for either:
• (24) "Connectrix" Connectors or
• (24) Neutrik® Connectors or
• (24) Switchcraft® Connectors or
• (25) "Connectrix" Connectors (using the #PNL-1425 Panel w/ center bar breakout)*

All ACE Super Stage Pockets Trim-Bezel Lid assemblies are heavy duty welded steel construction, with a 1/8" (nominally 11 ga. (.120")) thick CRS steel Lid and Mounting Flange. The 14 ga. (.071") thick CRS steel Super Pocket Body Back Box is precision die formed and jig welded. The Super 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 8" 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 Super Stage Pocket has an easy installation into 10" x 10" cutout in the stage floor. Open easy access from top of the Super 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 trim-bezel lid assembly. 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 Super Pocket Body Back Box comes with a clear zinc finish (Mil Spec QQ-Z-325E Type I, Class II). The Super Stage Pocket's solid rubber Lid Stops cradle the lid to prevent lid rattle.

Utilizing ACE's "Connectrix" System will allow mounting of up to 25 "Connectrix", Neutrik®, Switchcraft®, and/or Custom Connectors* in the Super Stage Pocket. The Horizontal Panel Design in the Super Pocket is designed for high capacity connectivity. In less than one square foot (10.5”x10.5”) the Super Pocket provides abundant panel space for up to 25 connectors* and a barrier isolated raceway ready for 2 duplex electric outlets (multiple circuits). This large connectivity capacity is possible using a Horizontal Panel Design and a set of panel mounting and A.C. barrier isolation raceway brackets. Generous combination conduit knockouts on four sides provides in-out-and-thru ways for both low voltage and AC electric cabling. Generous clearances above and below the panel(s) permit easy termination and access to an array of audio, video, data, communication and control connections.

ACE's Super Horizontal Panel Stage Pocket Systems offer "Connectivity" Solutions with a flexible, reliable, and simplistic design. The flexible design of the Super Horizontal Panel Stage Pocket Lid and Mounting Flange along with the Super Pocket Body Back Box, when used in combination with Custom and Prefabricated Aluminum "Connectrix" (Neutrik®/Switchcraft® combo cutout) Panels, Switchcraft® Panels, and our large selection of "Connectrix" (Neutrik®/Switchcraft® combo cutout), Switchcraft®, and Custom Connectors allow the Stage Pockets to be installed in many different applications. These applications include educational, institutional, and liturgical settings. Within these applications various audio, communications, control, data, electric AC power, video, and voice terminations are possible, allowing for a complete Stage Pocket System.

ACE's Horizontal Panel Stage Pockets are available in two sizes (Super and Super Double Wide Stage Pockets) making them flexible in both form and function and able to meet your individual requirements. All Super Horizontal Panel Stage Pockets are UL Listed. For more details on Ace Backstage Co.'s Stage Pocket Systems call the Ace Order Desk at 661-295-5760.

*Note: Connector capacity limitations apply depending on connectors and panels used.

“CONNECTRIX” SYSTEM PANEL DESCRIPTION

Many pre-cut stock #PNL-100 Series, #PNL-120 Series, #PNL-140 Series “Connectrix” System connector panels and #PSW-100 Series Switchcraft® connector panels are available for the Super 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.
