At Action Hardware we can boast that we are the largest stockists of the Switchcraft EH Series of Audio/Video/Data connectors. This is the fastest and most versatile way to create a custom panel or wall plate perfectly suited to meet the needs of any studio broadcast facility or systems integrator.

Again featuring the very high quality standard of their products the EH Series is a complete set of Audio/Video/ Data Connectors built into industry standard panel-mount “D” shell XLR housings. Custom combinations of EH Series connectors can be quickly fitted into any of the QG® Series panels. Once mounted, connecting your equipment to the back of an EH Series connector is fast and easy. Most are feed-through, allowing standard cabling to be simply plugged into the back of your equipment then plugged into the back of the EH Series connector. For those EH Series that are not feed-through, solder lugs are clearly marked for simple, secure solder connections.

QG® Series blank patch panels are standard as 1U and 2U height. These panels are constructed from high quality black anodised aluminium ensuring rugged attractive appearance. 1U version allows for any combination of up to 16 EH Series connectors to be built into the panel and the 2U version can accommodate up to 32 EH Series connectors. Both panels include quick change designation strips for easy connector identification and a cable tie bar.
