[GreenKeys] How I am going to use my SB-1210B/UGQ

[Joe Herdler]

Hi All,
So after a few days studying the SB-1210B/UGQ Navy Teletype patch box, I have decided what I am going to do with it.
As my rack cabinet patch panels are set up right now (using "proper" period correct Western Electric patch bays), I will use those to terminate each element of my TTY gear. The patch panel is divided into three sections; signal generators (TDs, modem, fox box, etc.), signal receivers only (RO, reperf, modulators, etc.) and full TTY sets. 
An extra jack bank in the rack will offer six sets of four loop jacks to connect various pieces of gear into one loop.

The SB-1210B/UGQ will be mounted into the rack cabinet, but will only be used for two things; to insert loop current into the loops (six max), and to monitor and control the current. A bonus is that there are two extra loop jacks. Each channel of the SB-1210B/UGQ will have it's own jack in the rack so that it can be placed into a loop.
I hope that I did not make this too complex, but using the Navy patch box as intended by the manufacturer would have limited my options.
My ultimate goal is to make it possible to connect any combination of gear into a loop, as well as have multiple loops running at the same time. The Navy patch panel is extremely useful in that I do not have to worry about separate power supplies and I can tune each loop to the proper current (60 mA).
I hope that this makes sense! :-) I will have photos soon.
Best,
JoeKB0TXC
