RGB Spectrum 520 12233-02 – Mini-HDMI to HDMI Adapter

Product Overview

The 520 12233-02 is a Mini-HDMI to HDMI adapter, the small connector part that lets a standard HDMI cable terminate on a mini-HDMI port. RGB Spectrum uses mini-HDMI connectors on several card-based products, because a full-size HDMI socket cannot fit four ports across a single card edge. That makes this adapter a routine line item on card-based processor builds rather than an optional extra: without one per port, the standard HDMI cables specified for the room cannot be connected at all. It is a passive part with nothing to configure.

Product Description

The adapter matters most on the day of installation. Card-based deployments arrive with mini-HDMI edge connectors while the site cabling is almost always standard HDMI, and a missing handful of adapters stops a rack build. Because the adapters are inexpensive and easy to lose in a rack, most integrators order spares alongside the per-port quantity. Being passive, the part adds no active stage to the signal chain, but it does add a connector interface, so cable dressing and strain relief at the card edge become more important once adapters are in the path.

Products that present mini-HDMI ports include the QPX HIN-C QuadPlex card, which has a mini-HDMI input and four mini-HDMI outputs, the QPX DIN-C card with four mini-HDMI outputs, and the Zio IP4K and Zio IP4K-E input cards, each with four mini-HDMI inputs. Where the requirement is Mini DisplayPort rather than mini-HDMI, the 520 12409 active adapter is the correct part instead.

Before ordering, count every mini-HDMI port that a standard HDMI cable has to reach and add spares. Confirm the connector body size of the HDMI cables specified for the job, because oversized shells stacked four across a card edge can foul each other, and confirm that the finished assembly of adapter plus cable clears the adjacent card and the rack door. RGB Spectrum publishes no datasheet or dimensioned drawing for this part number, so on a densely populated chassis have the clearance checked before the cabling is committed.

Key Features

• Connects standard HDMI cable to mini-HDMI ports — Site cabling is normally full-size HDMI, and this adapter makes it terminate on a card-edge mini-HDMI connector.
• Passive part with no configuration — There is nothing to power or set up, so it adds no commissioning steps to a card-based build.
• Required per port, not per system — Quantities are counted from the mini-HDMI ports actually in use, which makes the bill of materials easy to verify before a rack build.
• Low-cost spare worth stocking — At this price point, carrying spares in the install kit prevents a missing adapter from stopping a commissioning day.
• Vendor-supplied connector part — Using the RGB Spectrum adapter avoids the fit problems that generic adapters cause on a densely populated card edge.
