Planning some mix and match tests
Making a QTP patching system using DB25 patchbays
Dual row, 24 Channel by 24 Channel
DB25 to DB25 patchbay wiring price:
(12) QTP-DB25M $12.04 = $144.48
(24) CAT6-10-Green $7.80 = $187.20
6 cable price: $331.58
Checking the spacing fit for QTP-DB25M adapters.
Not a single problem detected. With all signals balanced and power on two different phases, no measurable induced noise detected.

QTP DB25 Pin out standards
I had an integrator call today asking what the compatible pin outs of the QTP-DB25 adapters were .
QTP-DB25M and QTP-DB25M use the Tascam DB25 Pinout.
Channels 1-4 terminate to one RJ45 and 5-8 to the other.
If you are using AES in and out the pin out is identical.
CH 1-4 are IN 1-4 and CH 5-8 are OUTPUT 5-8
The Third Compatible pin out is the Yamaha AES pin out. The QTP-DB25Y is only available in a male DB25 connector. The IN the first RJ45 and OUT the second.
All the RJ 45 connectors terminate to the TIA -B standard and use the following pair and polarity designation
QTP by the ocean
QTP and Studio Hub – > Handshaking
Someone at NAB asked a great question:
“How does QTP hook up to Studio Hub?”
The answer is “perfectly” with a few Q-mandments broken….
Such a great question demanded it’s own forum
