  Hydraport Component Video + Stereo UPX Module

Overview

The HPX-C5400-CN+A Component Video + Stereo UPX Module (FG552-52-BL-K) is 
designed to be used in conjunction with the HPX-1600 Hydraport Base Assembly. See 
specifications for module requirements. For more information on the HPX-1600, refer 
to www.amx.com. 

The HPX-C5400-CN+A Component Video + Stereo UPX Module provides user-
accessible RGBHV (VGA) Video and Stereo connections on the face of the Hydraport 
system. The HPX-C5400-CN+A Component Video + Stereo UPX Module provides 
connection from the user's source equipment to a remote client such as projector, 
monitor, display or stereo sound system over CAT 5 cable using AMX's proprietary 
UPX system.

Product Specifications 

Installation

Attention! 

Only a professional, AMX-qualified installer should 

perform this installation. Installation must conform to all local codes. 
This product may not be installed by the end-user.

Tools Required

Wire cutting pliers

Phillips Screw Driver (to access Hydraport Base Assembly)

CAUTION! 

Ensure that the AC Power cord is disconnected from IEC 

C-14 power inlet connector on the Hydraport Base Assembly prior to 
disassembly of the Hydraport Base assembly or installation of the 
HPX-C5400-CN+A Module (see FIG. 2). 

Step 1 - Backside Termination

Before installing the module into the Hydraport Base Assembly, the backside 
terminations of the module must be completed. 
This backside termination involves simply plugging in the CAT 5 cable into the RJ45 
receptacle on the back of the HPX-C5400-CN+A Module (FIG. 3). 

Note that for terminations for which the far end of the cable is not accessible either 
because the cable has been run under carpet, in a conduit or structure, or is otherwise 
fixed, the cable must be placed through the retaining ring (note the orientation of the 
retaining ring) then through the mounting surface from bottom to top, then to the 
module - 

before the module is placed into the base assembly

 (FIG. 4). 

Step 2 - Provide a Service Loop

Ensure there is sufficient cable length to provide a service loop for the cable after the 
module is installed into the Hydraport Base Assembly (FIG. 5).
