Frequently asked questions
Can these products be used together?
Yes. The HPX-U400-R-MET-7E is a module designed to fit into a HydraPort chassis like the HPX-900SL. The chassis holds up to nine modules total, so the keypad would occupy one of those nine spaces while other modules handle connectivity.
What is the HPX-900SL best suited for?
The HPX-900SL is designed for fixed installations in conference rooms, boardrooms, and corporate facilities where you need an organized, integrated connectivity hub built into a table or work surface. It is not intended for portable or touring applications.
What does the HPX-U400-R-MET-7E control, and how is it powered?
The HPX-U400-R-MET-7E is a control keypad with 7 buttons and LED indicators for managing systems integrated on the AxLink Bus. It is powered entirely through a single RJ-45 Ethernet cable using PoE (802.3af), so no separate power supply is required.
Are these products suitable for portable or outdoor use?
No. Both are designed for stationary, climate-controlled indoor installations. The HPX-900SL requires permanent flush mounting, and the HPX-U400-R-MET-7E operates only within 32° to 104° F with no outdoor rating.
