Ceiling Microphone Array Drop Cable | HP POLY POLY IP (72-inch) White

The HP POLY Ceiling Microphone Array Drop Cable in white is a 72-inch replacement or extension cable designed for POLY IP ceiling microphone arrays. It provides a clean, color-matched service drop from ceiling-mounted microphone transducers to in-room audio equipment, helping maintain consistent cable management and signal routing in conferencing and AV installations.

Advantages

This 72-inch drop cable offers a factory-length, color-matched connection that simplifies installation and reduces the need for on-site cable modifications. Built to interface with POLY IP ceiling microphone arrays, the cable preserves the physical routing and appearance of the microphone installation while providing adequate reach for standard ceiling heights. The white finish helps the cable blend with typical ceiling surfaces and trim, supporting a discreet and professional room appearance.

Suitable for

• Replacement of existing POLY IP ceiling microphone array service drops
• Extending the reach between a ceiling microphone transducer and in-room audio electronics
• Conference rooms, boardrooms, classrooms and lecture halls with standard ceiling heights
• AV system installations requiring a white, pre-terminated 72-inch drop

When it may not be suitable

This cable is intended as a physical drop for POLY IP ceiling microphone arrays; it does not change or add audio processing, signal conversion, or networking features. It may not be suitable for installations that require custom cable lengths, different colors to match non-standard interiors, or specialized connectors not compatible with POLY IP transducers. For ceiling heights significantly higher than standard drop lengths, a longer or bespoke cable solution may be needed.

Key specifications

• Length: 72 inches (approximately 183 cm)
• Color: White
• Purpose: Service drop cable for ceiling microphone arrays
• Compatibility: Designed for use with POLY IP ceiling microphone arrays and compatible in-room audio connections
• Application: Conferencing and AV system installations

How to use

Route the drop cable from the ceiling-mounted POLY IP microphone transducer to the in-room audio equipment following local building and AV installation practices. Connect the cable to the microphone transducer and to the corresponding audio input or interface on the in-room device, ensuring compatible mating connectors and secure connections. Use appropriate strain relief and cable management to prevent tension at termination points and to keep the drop neat and unobstructed. Test the audio path after installation to confirm continuity and correct operation of the ceiling microphone array within the conferencing system.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify physical connector compatibility with your POLY IP ceiling microphone array model and in-room audio equipment
• Confirm that a 72-inch length meets your ceiling height and routing requirements
• Ensure the white color is suitable for your room finish and visibility preferences
• Assess whether additional accessories such as strain reliefs or conduit are required for code-compliant installation

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, perform a continuity and audio-level check after installation, secure the cable to prevent stress at connection points, and follow manufacturer guidance for handling ceiling microphone hardware. If uncertain about connector types or length requirements, consult installation documentation for your POLY IP ceiling microphone array or contact a certified AV installer.
