Canford is proud to introduce the new 2 x 32 way MUSA HD 3Gb/s video patch panels which exceed the SMPTE292M and SMPTE424M standards. Featuring Canford’s proven full size HD MUSA connectors and 1U ‘U’ links, it is now possible to match router channel multiples of 32 in a 1U package. The 32 way panels retain the rugged extruded panel design used on 20, 24 and 26 way versions, with snap on designation strips and adjustable lacing bars as standard. The Connector bodies are hard nickel plated with gold plated centre pins to maintain smooth mating and oxidation resistance over an extremely long life.
Simplicity and reliability Redesigned at the turn of the century to accommodate the higher bit rates of 3G and 1.5G high definition signals, the Canford MUSA has been extensively specified by broadcasters and system integrators worldwide. They have been present in critical signal paths for virtually every televised sporting event broadcast in or from the UK for the last decade, including Summer and Winter Olympic Games, Commonwealth Games, Royal Weddings and Jubilee Celebration coverage, Tennis and Golf World Tours, Cricket and Rugby Test Series, The Grand National and every equine event, Athletics GPs, MotoGP and F1, European Football Championships, African Cup of Nations and World Cup football, Six Nations Rugby and UK Premiership football - every week, and News coverage – every day!
Canford panels have circumnavigated the globe many, many times proving the longevity and reliability of the simple non-switching, one piece contact design with no moving parts to dislodge or springs to fail. The 1U, 2 x 32 way MUSA Panel is an ideal choice for both fixed installations and OB trucks, temporary installations, fly packs and satellite trucks, where frequent freighting or transportation vibration challenges the reliability of equipment and connections. Simplicity of design and manufacture also offers the most a cost effective solution. With no moving parts, switches or complex housings, the Canford MUSA patching system (including ‘U’ links) provides the lowest cost per channel patching option.
