Frequently asked questions
Can these two modules work together in the same system?
Yes. The network module provides connectivity while the spacer provides cable routing; they serve different functions and can coexist in a single Hydraport chassis. The spacer's cable pass-thru holes can help organize cables around the network module's connections.
What is the skill level required to install each?
The HPX-N100-RJ45 requires intermediate to professional skill, since proper punch-down termination demands experience. The HPX-CPTS100-W requires only professional-level installation knowledge and is a straightforward passive insert.
Does the cable spacer work with all Hydraport chassis?
The HPX-CPTS100-W is confirmed compatible with HPX-600, HPX-900, and HPX-1200 models. Check your specific chassis model before ordering.
Will the network module handle AV-over-IP or just control signals?
The HPX-N100-RJ45 provides standard Cat6 Ethernet for both control data transmission and AV-over-IP protocols, depending on your system design and the devices it connects to.
