Neets Control – EasyConnect

Installation Manual

Neets

Foreword

Neets EasyConnect solves one of the most common and frustrating problems encountered in AV presentations. When a guest presenter wants to connect a laptop computer, all too often the proper cables cannot be found, or they have the wrong length, or the connection point is hidden away in a floor pocket or wall panel.

Cables are terminated at both ends for easy disconnection and re-connection, allowing use in podiums that occasionally must be relocated or removed for storage.

The EasyConnect enclosure also incorporates space for seamless integration of Neets Control EcHo or SieRRa II. With integrated control, starting a presentation is quick and frustration-free. Simply plug in the required cables, press the corresponding control buttons, and your presentation is running in a matter of seconds!

Description

Neets EasyConnect is a high-quality cable housing box designed for recessed mounting in a table-top, podium or other furniture surface in classrooms, board rooms and conference rooms. It contains six connector cables that pull out smoothly for quick connectivity and then disappear below the box for uncluttered storage. The top cover plate slides into its own recessed slot to hide out of the way when cables are in use.

EasyConnect is constructed from black anodized aluminum for years of reliable service. It includes a built-in AC line outlet (with proper socket connector for country of delivery) for powering an external computer or other device, and is CE certified.

The depth of the connector collar panel is adjustable, allowing optimum depth to suit various connector types and sizes.

EasyConnect is delivered with the following cables:

1 x HDMI 1 x 3.5mm audio 1 x VGA 2 x Cat-6 RJ45 1 x USB-A
