syadnom 0 Posted February 26, 2017 What I'm trying to do is convert a massive mess of cables into an organized system. I want to take all the cables (RG6) and terminate them into a block that is screwed on the wall so I can make shorter/cleaner patch cables to the encoder (axis p7216). What I have in my mind is the CATV distribution blocks where a bunch of f-type connectors are mounted with one side left, the other right, and a structure attaching those couplers to the wall. cables flow left to right. I would actually settle for that and terminate the cables with F-type ends and do F<>BNC patch cables, but I can't even find that part. terminating BNC would be ideal. Can anyone point me towards these? note, I don't want to use a 19" rack panel, that takes up too much space and this all has to fit behind a corner desk. No choice on mounting location, original install company made a big mess of things and I was hired to fix. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

the toss 0 Posted February 27, 2017 Its not hard to make your own. A piece of aluminium angle , drill your holes , fit BNC male-male panel mounts and there it is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ssnapier 0 Posted February 28, 2017 L-com sells bulkhead style connectors, you can pick up a standard 2RU blank plate for a network rack and drill the holes in it in an hour or two. Just lay out a nice grid and maybe make yourself a little jig to keep them even. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DON Mc 0 Posted August 22, 2017 If you make your own panel, make sure you use a non-conducting panel material, or insulated through hole BNC connectors to avoid common grounding all the video signals together. Keep them ground isolated from ground and each other or else you might have a big problem if a ground loop gets into your video, it will be distributed to all video images.
