Bittree offers a full line of reliable component video patchbays, ideal for SD/SDI, HD/SDI, and other 3 Gb/s applications.
Made from 3/16" solid aluminum and featuring the industry's finest fit-and-finish, our component video patchbays are available in both Mini-WECO and WECO formats.
The Mini-WECO patchbays feature higher-density 1 x 6 up to 2 x 10 jack configurations, while the more spacious WECO format features 1 x 5 up to 2 x 10 jack configurations.
Both Mini-WECO and WECO are available in 1 or 2 RU sizes, and both come with an offset "chevron" design to ensure correct patchcord insertion.
Bittree component video patchbays are available in RGB and RGBHV models, and corresponding three-wire and five-wire patchcords available. All component video jacks are SMPTE 292M and SMPTE 424M compliant.
Note on Mini-WECO vs. WECO formats: Most video patching systems in the U.S. use the WECO standard, developed by the Western Electric Company in the middle of the 20th century. WECO patchbays are usually considered easier to work with due to their more spacious jack configuration (1 x 5 configuration), while Mini-WECO patchbays are ideal for higher-density patching (1 x 6 configuration).
