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 5/6) (CAT 5/6) 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 and routing video and

audio signals to one or two RGB 580xi Remote Interfaces

(figure 1-3, on the next page).
