Cisco Room Bar CS-BAR-GRL-CSTM= – Custom Non-Fabric Grille Spare

Product Overview

CS-BAR-GRL-CSTM= is listed by the distributor as a Room Bar custom non-fabric grille supplied as a spare, the = designator marking it as a Cisco service part rather than a system. It is an accessory-level line item bought for two reasons: replacing a grille damaged in service, and holding a spare against a visible cosmetic fault on a bar mounted at eye level. Cisco's Room Bar datasheet documents that the speaker grille can be removed and flipped separately when the bar is installed underneath the display, but publishes no separate specification for a custom non-fabric grille, so confirm fit and finish before ordering.

Product Description

The grille is the one part of a Room Bar that people look at. On a bar mounted directly beneath a display at seated eye level, a scuffed or dented grille is more visible than any other fault on the unit, and replacing it is far cheaper than replacing the bar. That is the whole case for holding one as a spare on an estate with a large installed base.

The reason a removable grille exists at all is mounting flexibility. Cisco's consolidated mounting unit supports installation above or underneath the screens, and when the bar is fitted underneath it can be turned upside down with the speaker grille removed and flipped separately so the finish stays the right way up. A grille is therefore handled during a normal installation, which is also when it is most likely to be marked.

Because Cisco does not publish a specification for this custom non-fabric variant, treat the fit as something to verify rather than assume — particularly the finish, since Cisco documents only First Light and Carbon Black for the Room Bar itself. The host unit is 21 in. (53.4 cm) wide, 3.2 in. (8.2 cm) high and 2.5 in. (6.4 cm) deep at 3.3 lb (1.5 kg). Browse the bars this part relates to in video bars.

Mounting hardware, brackets and related install accessories are grouped under display mounts, and complete small-room packages under small room collaboration.

Key Features

• Cisco spare service part — The = designator marks a service item, so a damaged grille is replaced on its own rather than by replacing the video bar.
• Removable and flippable grille — Cisco documents that the Room Bar's speaker grille can be removed and flipped separately, which is what makes a field replacement practical.
• Suits inverted under-display installation — When the bar is mounted underneath the display it is turned upside down and the grille is flipped to match, the installation step where a grille is most often marked.
• Distributor-described non-fabric finish — The non-fabric description comes from the distributor record; Cisco publishes no separate specification for this grille, so fit and finish should be confirmed before ordering.
• Cosmetic repair at accessory cost — Replacing a visible grille on an eye-level video bar restores the room's appearance without the cost or downtime of swapping the bar.

Typical Applications

• Conference room — A Room Bar mounted beneath a display in a bookable meeting room sits at seated eye level, where grille condition is visible to everyone in the room.
• Huddle room — Small rooms place people close to the hardware, so a damaged grille on a wall-mounted bar is noticed immediately.
• Commercial meeting space — Managed offices and client-facing suites hold cosmetic spares so a marked unit can be corrected without taking the room out of service.
• Multi-purpose room — Rooms that are reconfigured often see more handling of the mounted hardware, which is when grille damage usually occurs.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What is this part?

The distributor lists it as a Room Bar custom non-fabric grille supplied as a spare. The = suffix is Cisco's spare or service designator, so it is an accessory line item rather than a system.

Which product does it fit?

It is listed against the Cisco Room Bar. Cisco's Room Bar datasheet documents a speaker grille that can be removed and flipped separately, but publishes no separate specification for a custom non-fabric grille, so confirm the fit against your specific unit before ordering.

Why would a Room Bar grille be removed?

Cisco's mounting design supports installing the bar above or underneath the display. When the bar is fitted underneath it can be turned upside down, and the speaker grille is removed and flipped separately so the finish aligns correctly.

Does Cisco publish dimensions or materials for this grille?

No. Cisco's Room Bar documentation covers the bar itself and its mounting behaviour, not a separate grille specification. Contact Creation Networks to confirm the part before ordering rather than working from the datasheet.

What size is the host video bar?

Cisco publishes the Room Bar as 21 in. (53.4 cm) wide, 3.2 in. (8.2 cm) high and 2.5 in. (6.4 cm) deep, weighing 3.3 lb (1.5 kg).

Will the finish match our installed bars?

Cisco documents two finishes for the Room Bar, First Light and Carbon Black, and publishes no colour definition for this custom grille part. Confirm the finish with Creation Networks if it must match units already installed.

What warranty applies to a spare part?

Warranty is handled per Cisco's standard terms for this product class — contact Creation Networks to confirm coverage for your order.
