The Plantronics APC-42 Electronic Hookswitch Cable connects compatible Plantronics headsets to Cisco desk phones. It is intended for office workers who need remote call control without a mechanical handset lifter.

Compatibility Check

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and do I need to buy anything else to use it?

The package contains the APC-42 electronic hookswitch cable only. It connects directly between a compatible Plantronics wireless headset base and a supported Cisco desk phone, so no separate HL10 handset lifter is required.

How do I choose between the APC-41 and APC-42 cables?

The APC-42 replaces the older APC-41 (part 38350-11) and is designed for Cisco phones that support electronic hookswitch control. Select the APC-42 when your desk phone model is listed as compatible with this cable.

What does “communicates electronically with the phone” mean in daily use?

It lets you answer and end calls using the headset button while away from the desk, because the cable sends the hookswitch signal to the phone without a mechanical lifter.
