About the Extron AAP 102 Two-Gang AV Connectivity Mounting Frame
The Extron AAP 102 is a two-gang, low-profile mounting frame designed for professional, clean, and organized installation of audio-visual connectivity plates in conference tables, lecterns, and walls. This frame provides the structural foundation for mounting Extron's extensive range of modular AAP Series connector plates, which house various types of AV, data, and power connectors. Its primary purpose is to create a discreet, recessed, and finished interface point that allows users to easily connect laptops and other devices to a room's presentation system while maintaining an uncluttered and professional aesthetic. The design prioritizes durability, ease of installation, and seamless integration into high-end commercial furnishings.
Constructed from heavy-gauge steel, the AAP 102 frame is built to withstand frequent use in demanding environments. It installs into a standard two-gang electrical back box or a custom-cut opening in furniture, providing a secure mounting point for the chosen connector plates. The frame's low-profile design ensures that the installed plate sits nearly flush with the table or wall surface, minimizing visual impact and reducing the risk of cables catching on protruding edges. The finish is typically a neutral matte black or brushed aluminum, designed to blend with a variety of interior designs and decors.
The system's modularity is its key advantage. Installers can populate the AAP 102 frame with a custom selection of connector modules—such as HDMI, DisplayPort, USB-C, audio jacks, network ports, and even power outlets—tailored to the specific needs of the room. This flexibility allows for future upgrades or changes by simply swapping out modules. Once installed, the frame and plate assembly provides a robust, professional-grade connection point that protects connectors from dust and damage, manages cable strain, and presents a unified, branded interface for end-users, enhancing the overall experience and reliability of the AV system.
