Electronic Hook Switch Cable

The HP Poly APA-24 Electronic Hook Switch Cable enables remote call answer and end control for compatible headsets. It connects supported Alcatel desk phones directly to Plantronics wireless headset bases. This accessory removes the requirement for a mechanical HL10 Handset Lifter on the desk. The cable carries signalling only and does not transmit audio.

Check phone and headset compatibility

Verify that the desk phone model is listed as supported for the APA-24 cable before purchase. Confirm the wireless headset base unit accepts an Electronic Hook Switch connection of this type. The manufacturer notes possible compatibility with additional phone brands beyond Alcatel. Consult the Product Configurator for a definitive match with specific hardware.

Replaces APA-23 and adds indicator support

The APA-24 supersedes the earlier APA-23 cable in Plantronics product lines. It introduces compatibility with the Plantronics On-line Indicator accessory for visual call-status signalling. Installation routes the cable between the phone's dedicated port and the headset base. No external power supply is required for the cable itself.
