AMX AVX-PS-12VDC-2.5A AVS-PS-12VDC-2.5A,12V 2.5A Desktop Sply W/pcord vs AMX HPX-N102-RJ45 Dual RJ-45 module for Hydraport
These are fundamentally different product categories: the AVX-PS-12VDC-2.5A is a standalone desktop power supply delivering 12V DC current, while the HPX-N102-RJ45 is a networked connectivity module that slots into an AMX HydraPort chassis. Choose the power supply if you need to power AV control devices; choose the network module if you're building a modular HydraPort system requiring Cat6 connectivity.

Frequently asked questions
Can these two products work together?
Not directly. The power supply provides DC voltage to powered devices, while the network module provides Cat6 connectivity within a HydraPort chassis. However, both might be used in the same AV system installation—the supply powering control equipment and the module providing network connectivity.
What level of expertise do I need for each?
The power supply is straightforward enough for any skill level—plug it in and connect devices. The HPX-N102-RJ45 requires intermediate to advanced knowledge, as it demands familiarity with HydraPort modular systems and network architecture.
Which is better value for a small AV project?
The power supply offers standalone value immediately for any project needing 12VDC regulation. The network module only has value if you already own or plan to purchase a HydraPort chassis, making it part of a larger system investment.
Do I need both for a typical installation?
Only if your installation includes both powered AV control devices (requiring the supply) and a HydraPort chassis with networked equipment (requiring the module). Many installations use one or the other, not both.
