Moving Helix Rack Ins & Outs to the front

Accessing the back of my rack to add/remove items from my Sends/Returns or MIDI In & Out etc is a pita.  Does anyone know of like a 1U panel or something that would allow me to bring the stuff from the back of the rack to the front?  Kind of like a patch bay but with Helix Rack specific ins & outs including Variax in, Helix Control, etc?

Something ready to go doesn't exist, but you can build your own grabbing a Rack Panel with just Neutrik D Type holes, and then buy the Neutrik panel connectors to mirror the back of the Helix. Every Neutrik panel connector has a Front/Back port. Back port it's to connect your Helix ports with the Neutrik port, which will be then available on the Front.


Something like that for the panel (12 ports);

Or a 24; https://www.thomann.de/it/adam_hall_872214.htm


Then you can grab the Neutrik that you need, depending what ports you want to mirror. They do cover basically everything, from XLR to Jack, from CAT to Midi, from USB A/B etc etc...

Between patch panel, patch cables, and Neutrik panel connectors....isn't gonna be cheap.
