The Yealink EHS40 Module is a compact, high‑performance interface that bridges wireless headset systems with VoIP telephones. Designed for the Yealink T5 series, it enables seamless integration of popular wireless headsets such as Plantronics, Jabra, and Sennheiser, allowing users to answer calls directly from their headset without touching the phone.

Key Features

• Universal Compatibility: Works with a wide range of wireless headsets that support the RJ‑9 hook switch standard, including models from Plantronics (T43U, T46U, T48U), Jabra (Evolve series), and Sennheiser.
• Plug‑and‑Play Installation: Connects via a standard USB Type‑A port on the phone and an RJ‑9 cable to the headset. No drivers or firmware updates are required for basic operation.
• Low Latency Hook Switch: The electronic hook switch delivers instant call answer and hang‑up signals, ensuring that voice traffic is handled with minimal delay.
• Compact Design: Measures only a few centimeters in length, making it easy to mount on the side of the phone or attach to a desk without cluttering the workspace.
• Power‑Efficient: Operates within the power budget of standard USB ports, consuming less than 0.5 W during normal use.
• Robust Build Quality: Constructed from durable ABS plastic with reinforced connectors to withstand frequent handling and environmental exposure typical in office settings.

Supported Phone Models

The module is specifically engineered for the following Yealink VoIP phones, but it can also be used on other SIP‑compatible devices that provide a USB port and support RJ‑9 hook signals:

• Yealink SIP-T53, T54, T57, T48, T58
