About the HSA 822 Hideaway® Enclosure

The Extron HSA 822 is a furniture-mounted, architectural solution for inconspicuous computer video interface connector access and control.

The HSA 822 provides space for four double space (double- height) or eight single space Extron Architectural Adapter Plates (AAPs), two standard grounded AC power receptacles, and four RJ-45 (Category 6, CAT 6) connectors (figure 1-1). The HSA is available in a US version, with US power receptacles, 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 AAP spaces and RJ-45 connectors are 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 AAP panels to connectors on the underside 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 enclosure fits 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 822 can be optimized with one through four RGB 580xi AAPs connected to one through four RGB 580xi Remote Interfaces (figure 1-2).
