Jabra 180-09 Communications Enabler for Deskphone and Softphone

This is exactly what we were looking for to switch our GN headsets between the phone and the computer. Previously we used several quick release cables and Y adapters to hook into the sound card. This was cheaper, cleaner and easier. The device has a usb sound card built in so you don't have to mess with your existing sound card. It also has the quick release gn adapter for your headset and the standard phone headset jack to plug into the phone. My only wish was that the cable was a bit longer for hooking to the headset.

Works perfectly to connect my Jabra biz 2300 to my Cisco 7841 IP phone and my Dell laptop. Being able to flip the switch to hop between desk phone and softphone calls is very convenient. The box includes all cables you need to connect everything.

I bought the Jabra LINK 180 to replace a GN 8110 USB link that no longer worked with Windows 8.1. Jabra Customer Support (866-697-8757) recommended this as an alternative to buying a new wireless microphone to replace the GN 9120 wireless microphone that served me for well over a decade. When the LINK 180 arrived, I unfortunately had problems with the GN 9120 headset when using Skype. In particular, as I connected to any Skype address, the headset's speaker made a loud buzzing noise that I could not shut off. With excellent help from Jabra's tech support we finally discovered that this could be fixed by uninstalling the Link 180 driver then plugging the Link 180 back in, which in turn updated the driver. (Installing the Jabra PC Suite did NOT help in making this driver correction.) So it IS possible to get a GN 9120 wireless headset working through a Link 180. However, if I had to do it again, I would put the money toward Jabra's new wireless mike (Jabra PRO 930 MS), which I have since purchased and have found to work beautifully.

We moved to this model after we upgraded some of our systems to Win7 64bit. The GN4000 drivers did not work with Win 7 64bit. The Jabra Link 180 works great with the 64bit systems and installation is simple, just plug it in and let windows install the driver. The only things I don't like about it is the weight. The Jabra Link 180 is very light and is easily bumped around on the desk. Also, the manual switching between computer and phone can be extra work but nothing to complain too much about. This is a good product. We have about 5+ deployed now and looking to deploy more.

love that i can switch back and fourth

great deal

When my department invested in Cisco 7642 phones & installed Lync, we needed new compatible hardware & bought these along with the Jabra GN2125 Noise Cancelling Headset. We are extremely happy with our devices & order additional sets as we continue to grow.

Great for switching back and forth. Use GN2100 headset. Only little problem is I hear myself talking on the headset when on the computer but works just as great on the phone as before.

Adaptateur permettant de switcher entre téléphone et ordinateur,Il nous a permis de faire fonctionner deux casque téléphonique sur le même téléphone fixe.Un petit peu cher pour son utilitée.

Conesgnato nei tempi promessi. Nella confezione non ci sono istruzioni di installazione: sembra tutto facile, basta collegare i cavi e dovrebbe funzionare. Nella realtà è così solo per la parte relativa al telefono fisso. Per farlo funzionare con il pc ho dovuto installare Jabra Connect (scaricabile grauitamente dal sito) tramite il quale ho potuto aggiornare i driver, dopodichè è necessario riavviare il pc e a quel punto funzione perfettamente. Niente di difficile o strano, ma una piccola indicazione sul compiere questi passi potrebbero metterla.Altra cosa: il cavo in uscita (che parte con RJ11) non termina con jack da 3.5, ma con un connettore proprietario di Jabra. Per connettere la mia comunissima cuffia con microfono ho acquistato un adattatore RJ11 -> jack 3.5

Lo he comprado para evitar tener que estar desconectado los auriculares del teléfono y conectándolos al PC y viceversa costantemente. Aunque el conector rápido es de uso muy sencillo, me preocupaba que alguna vez acabaría estropeándolo.La instalación ha sido muy sencilla. El PC ha reconocido el Jabra inmediatamente.

Ich nutze das Teil als Umschalter für ein Jabra/GN 2400 zur Wahlweisen Nutzung am PC (für Dragon Naturally Speaking) und als Telefon-Headset (an einem Unify OpanStage 60). Der Umschalter funktioniert sehr gut. Um nicht durcheinanderzukommen empfiehlt es sich, das tehefon rechts vom PC/Monitor stehen zu haben.

Der Umschalter funktioniert hervorragend mit Skype und Lync. Umschaltung zwischen Standardtelefonie und IP-Telefonie klappt problemlos. Leider fehlt für die OpenStage Verbindung ein Adapterkabel, da die vorhandenen Stecker nicht passen.
