Frequently asked questions
Can I use the HPX-N102-ETH-R without the HPX-600BL?
No. The HPX-N102-ETH-R is a module designed to fit into Hydraport enclosures like the HPX-600BL. It requires a compatible Hydraport system to function.
How many Ethernet modules can fit in the HPX-600BL?
The HPX-N102-ETH-R occupies 1-1/2 HydraPort units. The HPX-600BL has 6 total units available (minus 2 for the included power outlet), so you could fit up to three Ethernet modules if desired, depending on what other modules you install.
Are these products suitable for permanent conference room installations?
Yes, both are purpose-built for fixed installations. The HPX-600BL enclosure mounts flush to surfaces, and the HPX-N102-ETH-R retractable module is tested to 10,000 cycles for reliability in high-traffic conference environments.
What is the difference in cable management between these two products?
The HPX-600BL is the enclosure that manages all connectivity infrastructure. The HPX-N102-ETH-R is one specific module within that enclosure that manages Ethernet; its retractable design keeps individual cables neat without cluttering the installation.
