Jabra Link 14201-35 Avaya EHS Adapter

Jabra Link 14201-35 Avaya EHS Adapter

The Jabra Link 14201-35 Avaya EHS Adapter is the essential bridge between your Jabra wireless headset and your Avaya desk phone. Unlike older adapters or mechanical handset lifters, this Electronic Hook Switch (EHS) adapter enables true remote call control – answer, end, mute, and adjust volume directly from your headset. It plugs into the dedicated headset port or RJ9 handset port on compatible Avaya phones and connects to your Jabra headset base via a standard RJ9 cable. No more reaching across your desk to lift the handset. Just seamless, professional call control.

How It Works

The Link 14201-35 connects to your Avaya phone’s headset port (RJ9) and to your Jabra wireless headset base (such as Engage, Pro, or Evolve series). Once connected, the adapter translates electronic hook switch signals between your headset and the phone. When you press the call button on your headset, the adapter tells the phone to go off‑hook – exactly as if you had lifted the handset. Press again to end the call, and the phone hangs up automatically. The adapter also routes audio bidirectionally, ensuring crystal‑clear sound without any extra steps. Setup is plug‑and‑play: no drivers, no software, no external power supply (the adapter draws power from the phone).

Compatibility & Design

The Jabra Link 14201-35 is specifically designed for Avaya desk phones with a modular RJ9 headset port. It is compatible with a wide range of Avaya models, including:

Avaya 1400 series (1408, 1416, etc.)

Avaya 1600 series (1608, 1616, etc.)

Avaya 4600 series (4606, 4612, 4620, etc.)

Avaya 5400 series (5410, 5420, etc.)

Avaya 9500 series (9504, 9508, etc.)

Avaya J100 series (J129, J139, J159, J179)

On the headset side, it works with most Jabra wireless headset bases that feature an RJ9 EHS port, including:

Jabra Engage 50, 65, 75, 80 series

Jabra Pro 920, 930, 940, 9450, 9460, 9470

Jabra Evolve 60, 65, 75, 80 series

The adapter is compact (approximately 3 x 2 x 1 inches) and sits discreetly between your phone and headset base. It includes a short RJ9 cable. Gold‑plated connectors ensure reliable, static‑free transmission. No external power adapter is needed – the adapter draws power directly from the phone’s headset port.

Why Choose This Product

Without an EHS adapter, using a wireless headset with an Avaya desk phone forces you to either manually lift the handset every call (defeating the hands‑free purpose) or use a mechanical handset lifter (a bulky, battery‑powered arm that can fail). The Jabra Link 14201-35 is a much cleaner, more reliable solution. It provides true electronic hook switch control: answer, end, mute, and volume adjust directly from your headset. It also improves audio quality because the signal stays electronic rather than passing through a mechanical connection. For call center agents, busy executives, or anyone taking dozens of calls daily, the time saved and reduced motion strain add up significantly. Plus, it keeps your desk tidy and professional. Compared to older Avaya EHS adapters, the 14201-35 offers broader compatibility with newer Avaya IP phone models.
