RGB Spectrum ZIO BRK-IP4K – Cable Retention Bracket for IP4K Cards

Product Overview

The RGB Spectrum ZIO BRK-IP4K is the cable retention bracket for Zio IP4K and Zio IP4K-E input cards. It holds mini-HDMI cables in place at the card connector so that cable weight and rack movement do not pull a source off the video wall. Mini-HDMI connectors carry no locking mechanism, which makes a retention bracket standard practice on any rack that gets re-patched or slid forward for service. Creation Networks supplies it as a line item with the cards or as a later addition to an installed processor.

Product Description

Dropped sources on a commissioned video wall are more often a connector problem than a processing problem, and mini-HDMI is the most vulnerable connector in a Zio 4000 rack. This bracket is specified by RGB Spectrum for the Zio IP4K input card and the encode-capable RGB Spectrum Zio IP4K-E, both of which present mini-HDMI inputs. Those cards are what give the W4008-C and W4008-E configurations their local inputs, so the bracket applies to any chassis built around them, including a field configuration on the Zio W4008 chassis. Fit one bracket per card at install time; adding it later means disturbing live cabling in an operator room. For commercial AV integration work where a rack is handed over to a facilities team, cable retention also reduces avoidable service calls after the room goes into use. The RGB Spectrum price list does not state a quantity for this part number, so confirm how many brackets are needed against the IP4K card count in each chassis. Creation Networks can check that against the card lines on an order before it ships.

Key Features

• Specified for Zio IP4K cards — RGB Spectrum lists this bracket for the Zio IP4K and Zio IP4K-E input cards, so fit is confirmed by the vendor.
• Secures latchless connectors — Mini-HDMI has no latch of its own, and the bracket takes the strain that would otherwise sit on the connector.
• Prevents dropped sources — Holding cables at the card avoids intermittent loss of a source on a commissioned video wall.
• Suits serviced racks — A chassis that is slid forward for card access moves its cabling with it, which is exactly where retention pays off.
• Install-time item — Fitting the bracket during the original build avoids disturbing live cabling in an operator room later.
