[GreenKeys] 60 Mil Patching

[Tom Hunter]

Anthony,

How many jacks do you need in your patch panel?
Do you need Tip/Sleeve jacks or Tip/Ring/Sleeve?
I use both,, but TRS is safer. I buy TRS plugs by the tens on eBay.
I build my own patching on Electrical boxes.
Don't forget a jack for a 100 ma meter. to check your loop current


If you don't have a meter, check out eBay.
I always monitor my loop currents.
You get a feel for how the meter should look
especially on RYs.

Attached pictures include 3 TS jacks with
shoulder washers and flat washers.
3 TRS jacks and 6 TRS jacks.
I can mount as many as 9 jacks on a 4x4 box.

The last picture shows a homebrew loop supply
and shows how I mount my meters.
