Frequently asked questions
Can these products work together in the same installation?
Yes. The AC-RK organizes NetLinx control modules in rack-mount format, while the HPX-N102-USB expands USB connectivity on a separate HydraPort chassis. They serve different functions and are not directly interdependent.
What skill level is required to install each product?
Both are professional-grade products designed for trained AV installers. The AC-RK is a passive bracket requiring only mechanical mounting; the HPX-N102-USB integrates into an existing HydraPort system and may require system configuration knowledge.
How much power do these products consume?
The AC-RK is passive and consumes no power. The HPX-N102-USB-PC model includes a 4.2A power supply that distributes power equally between its two USB ports at up to 2.1A per port.
Which product suits smaller, space-constrained installations?
The AC-RK is designed for space efficiency, occupying only 1 RU (1.8 inches) while holding three modules. The HPX-N102-USB is also compact and modular within a HydraPort chassis but requires the larger chassis infrastructure.
