Introduction

About the Hideaway® Surface Access Products

The patented Extron Hideaway HSA 400 and HSA 402 are furniture-mounted, architectural solutions for inconspicuous computer video interface connector access and control.

The HSA 400 provides space for two double-space (double- height) or four single-space Extron Architectural Adapter Plates (AAPs), a standard grounded AC receptacle, and two RJ-45 (Category 6) (CAT 6) connectors (figure 1-1). The HSA is available in a US version, with a US power receptacle, and an international version. Several different types of power receptacles are available for the international version, including Universal, UK, French, Israeli, Australian, Indian, European, and Swiss receptacles.

The Universal AC outlet is fully compatible with Europlug, British, Indian, Danish, and Italian plug types. See the universal AC outlet guide on the Extron Web site, www.extron.com, for compatibility details on all plug types.

The HSA 402 provides the same AAP space, but with two AC receptacles and four RJ-45 connectors. The AC receptacles and RJ-45 connectors are arranged symmetrically on opposite sides of the AAP opening (figure 1-2).

In both models, cabling inside the enclosure runs the AC power line(s) and RJ-45 signal lines from the HSA panel connectors to connectors on the bottom of the enclosure.

With an optional conversion kit, one or more of the RJ-45 (data) lines can be converted to an RJ-11 (telephone) line.

The installed enclosures fit nearly flush within a table or podium top, storing the AAPs and connectors out of the way and out of sight. To access the AAPs and connectors, the user presses down on the top of the enclosure, releasing a mechanical latch. A gas lift slowly tips the AAPs and connectors into view.

The functionality of the HSA enclosures can be optimized with one or two RGB 580xi AAPs connected to one or two RGB 580xi Remote Interfaces (figure 1-3, on the next page).
