Professional Punchdown Terminal (PPT)



Our Patchbays Now Feature the New Professional Punchdown Terminal (PPT)

Our patchbays have just rounded a new corner. Actually, the corners we rounded belong to our patchbays’ revolutionary, new Professional Punchdown Terminal (PPT), making it perfectly compatible with the industry standard. We realized that achieving a new industry standard meant we couldn’t cut any corners to get there.

The PPT design incorporates a split-barrel design and a more rugged, thicker housing to minimize the impact of repeated punchdowns. The split-barrel design eliminates the problems associated with the old “V-shaped” terminal designs. The PPT design distributes pressure evenly across both sides of the terminated wire, causing improved wire retention plus more reliable connections. The serrated teeth in the plastic housing firmly grip the wires, which also greatly improves wire retention. With the PPT, multiple wires can be terminated to a single contact, and a wide range of wire gauges can be used. Look for Switchcraft’s PPT in our MTP and TTP Series of audio patchbays, and in our new Backpanel Series.

All Switchcraft audio patchbays incorporate heavy gauge materials and our high quality nickel-plated, steel framed jacks. Gold-plated, crossbar contacts come standard!
