Tired of grabbing your desk phone handset every time it rings? The HP Poly APS-11 Electronic Hookswitch Cable (85Q78AA) changes that. Pair it with your existing Poly wireless headset and compatible office phone and you get true one-touch call control from anywhere in the room. It’s simple, reliable, and built for the way modern teams actually work. The Telecom Spot Expert Take As IT hardware specialists who help businesses keep communication seamless, we see the APS-11 as one of those small upgrades that delivers outsized daily wins. It removes the clunky handset lifter entirely, cuts down on repetitive motion, and gives every user the freedom to stay focused on the conversation instead of the phone. TAA compliance makes it a no-brainer for government and enterprise buyers. If you’re already running Poly Savi or CS500 headsets, this cable is the missing link that turns good audio into great workflow.
