About the HSA Hideaway Enclosures

The Extron Hideaway HSA 800 and HSA 802 are furniture-
mounted, architectural solutions for inconspicuous computer
video interface connector access and control.
The HSA 800 provides space for two double-space (double-
height) or four single-space Extron Architectural Adapter Plates
(AAPs), a standard grounded US, IEC, UK, Europe, or
Australian (depending on the model) AC receptacle, and two
RJ-45 (Category 6) (CAT 6) connectors (figure 1-1). The HSA 802
provides twice the AAP space with two AC receptacles and four
RJ-45 connectors.
On the US/domestic HSA 802, the AAP spaces, RJ-45
connectors, and AC receptacle are arranged back-to-back on
opposite sides of the enclosure. On the IEC and all international
versions, the AAP spaces and RJ-45 connectors are also arranged
back-to back, while the AC receptacles are back-to-back on the
sides perpendicular to the AAPs. Cabling inside the enclosure
runs the AC power line and RJ-45 signal lines from the
connectors on the front panels to connectors on the underside of
the enclosure.

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 raises the AAPs and
connectors into view.
The functionality of the HSA enclosures can be optimized with
one through four RGB 580xi AAPs connected to one through
four RGB 580xi Remote Interfaces (figure 1-2).
