HPX-AV102-USB-R

USB 3.0 Module with Retractable

MyTurn

TM

 Ready Cable

Overview

The HydraPort

®

 Retractable Cable Module is designed to be used in conjunction with

the HPX-600/900/1200/1800 or the Hydraport Touch (7”/10”) Connection Port base

assembly, to provide the convenience of various types of cables in a HydraPort System.
The 

HPX-AV102-USB-R

 USB 3.0 Module with Retractable Cable (FG552-37) provides a

USB 3.0 cable in a retractable spool that mounts into the HydraPort base assembly

(FIG. 1). USB 3.0 cable features transmission speeds of up to 5 Gbit/s and supports

charging devices via 4.5W: 5V@900mA charging current.
With the MyTurn™ Source Selection Button (FG554-21) optional accessory,

participants can send their content to a display at the press of a button without moving

from their seat. Any 

MyTurn-Ready

 cable may be equipped with the MyTurn solution.

See “Optional MyTurn™ Source Selector Button” on page 2. 

Installation

Warning! - Do not attempt to open the retractable cable module enclosure. There are 

no serviceable parts inside the module. 
- Opening the module enclosure may result in an uncontrolled release of spring 

forces which could cause serious injury and/or equipment damage. 
- Opening the module enclosure will void the product warranty.
Warning! - installation of the Hydraport in the table should ensure the pull-out length 

of the cable can reach all potential users of connectivity, as excessively pulling on a 

fully extended cable can irreparably damage the retractor module.

Caution: Only use a hand-held #2 Phillips-head screwdriver for mounting this unit. Over-

tightening the screws can hinder performance or damage the unit.

For existing HPX installations, the HPX base must be removed from the mounting

surface. See “Existing Installations” on page 2. for HPX Base removal instructions.
1.

Remove the (silver) pivot screw in the center of the End Cap (FIG. 2). There is an 

internal tooth washer underneath it. Keep them together for re-installation.

2.

Remove the four (black) sheet metal screws that secure the two-piece End Cap to

the HPX assembly (additional top two screws only on one-piece end cap models). 

3.

Gently slide the End Cap out of the HPX base assembly. 

The HPX-AV102-USB-R RCM cable cartridge mounts from underneath the table to

simplify installation and upgrade of retractable cable modules. This version RCM has a

detachable mounting collar that is installed into the Hydraport base first and then the

cable cartridge is reattached to the mounting collar 
Securely holding the HPX-AV102-ETH-R RCM, extract enough cable to lay the cable

cartridge on the floor while installing the mounting collar into the HPX Base Assembly

(~3ft). When extracting 5 foot (1.5m) cable from the RCM, follow these simple steps:
4.

Pull up to 1.5 meters of cable straight up out of the RCM and then lay it down.

5.

Watch for a red tape on the cable when extracting. It is a warning to slow pull for

the final 1 foot to avoid damage to the RCM (FIG. 3).  

6.

Pull the cable cartridge trigger (FIG. 4) to release the mounting collar tongue.  

7.

Lift the mounting collar away from the cable cartridge until the tongue is clear and

then slide to the side to clear the hook.

8.

Feed the mounting collar up through the table cutout to reach the HPX base

assembly. Align the mounting notches on the mounting collar with the mounting

rails on the HPX (FIG. 4).

Note: 

Module mounting collars are notched in a “tongue and groove" type fashion

to ensure that all modules are oriented correctly in the HPX. Note the orientation of

the notched mounting collar on each module before sliding the module(s) into the

HPX assembly.  

9.

Slide the mounting collar into position.

10. Install any remaining module mounting collars into the HPX base.

Re-Install the End-Cap

Caution: Do not use a high-powered torque screw driver. Over-tightening these screws 

can damage the product.

1.

Align the mounting notches on the end cap with the mounting rails on the HPX base.

2.

Slide the End Cap into the HPX base until it is fully inserted against the end of the

base assembly. Watch out for the tension spring under the pivot pawl popping the

pivot pawl off the end cap while pressing against the lid pivot point.

3.

Secure the End Cap with the 4 to 6 (black) sheet metal screws (FIG. 2).

4.

Replace the (silver) pivot screw in the center of the End Cap.
