Scalable Structural Mainframes for Custom Broadcast Routing

Canare Unloaded Video Jack Panels offer broadcast engineers and integration technicians a reliable, blank-slate framework for constructing custom patch fields. Instead of restricting your infrastructure to factory-preset configurations, these open mainframes allow you to mix, match, and populate your rack fields according to your exact channel requirements. From high-density outside broadcast (OB) vans to television master control rooms and corporate post-production suites, these frames provide the clean physical backbone needed to securely anchor high-frequency digital coaxial nodes.

Streamlined Front-Facing Loading & Maintenance Workflow

A key advantage of the Canare empty mainframe line is its smart front-mount configuration. Because broadcast engineering demands minimal downtime, the structural mounting holes allow video jacks to be locked into position directly from the front of the rack. If a single channel needs modification, testing, or replacement, it can be unfastened and extracted individually without disturbing neighboring channels or tearing down complex rear wire looms.

High-Visibility Labeling Solutions

To simplify complex cable tracing under pressure, each frame size is built with distinct designation strip tracks. The label window dimensions scale alongside the rack size, expanding from a slim 6.2 mm strip on 1 RU frames to a wide 18.4 mm field on 2 RU variants. This extra real estate gives engineers ample space to apply high-visibility port mapping, source codes, and clear signal identification notes.
