Cisco CS-BAR-NR-K9++ – Webex Room Bar No Radio TAA

Product Overview

The Cisco Webex Room Bar (CS-BAR-NR-K9++) is a TAA-compliant, no-radio all-in-one video collaboration bar built for huddle rooms, focus rooms, and small meeting rooms. Running natively on Cisco RoomOS, it combines a 12MP wide-angle camera, a beamforming microphone array, and stereo loudspeakers in a single codec-powered device that joins Webex, Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and Google Meet. The included table-stand Cisco Room Navigator delivers one-button meeting join, room controls, and scheduling. Because this is the No-Radio (NR) variant with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth disabled, it is purpose-built for government spaces and other secure environments that require wired-only operation and Trade Agreements Act (TAA) compliance.

Product Description

The Cisco Room Bar is a compact, wall- or display-mountable video bar that transforms small collaboration spaces into fully managed, RoomOS-driven meeting rooms. Connect the unit to one or two HDMI displays and it delivers Full HD video with 4K content sharing, so remote participants see a clear, well-framed view of everyone in the room. The 12MP camera provides a 120-degree horizontal field of view with automatic framing, People Focus, and audio-based speaker tracking, keeping in-room participants visible even at close range in a huddle space. A four-element beamforming microphone array paired with AI-powered noise removal suppresses paper rustling, typing, and background noise, while dual stereo speakers reproduce directional, spatial audio for a natural conversation.

This No-Radio, TAA model (CS-BAR-NR-K9++) ships without active Wi-Fi and Bluetooth radios, making it a strong fit for federal, defense, and other regulated deployments where wireless interfaces must be disabled and Trade Agreements Act compliance is mandatory. It is a genuine dual-platform video bar: run the native Cisco RoomOS experience for Webex-first meetings with third-party interoperability, or configure it as a native Microsoft Teams Rooms on Android system. As a codec-based appliance it supports laptop-free meetings through the Room Navigator; as a USB-C peripheral it functions as a BYOD camera, microphone, and speaker for any softclient. Wired content sharing and USB-C passthrough keep presentations simple, and dual-screen support separates live video from shared content. For IT and facilities teams, the Room Bar is a managed, secure endpoint administered through Cisco Control Hub, with unified provisioning, diagnostics, analytics, and workspace occupancy insights across the entire fleet. The commercial-grade, First Light finish and consolidated mounting kit make for a clean installation above or below the display.

Key Features

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the CS-BAR-NR-K9++ and the standard Room Bar?
The "NR" designates the No-Radio variant, which ships with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth disabled for wired-only operation. The "++" designates the TAA-compliant version built for U.S. government and public-sector procurement. Functionally it is otherwise the same Cisco Room Bar and includes a table-stand Room Navigator.

Which meeting platforms does it support?
It runs native Cisco RoomOS for Webex with interoperability for Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and Google Meet, and can alternatively be configured as a native Microsoft Teams Rooms on Android system. It can also operate as a USB-C peripheral for any laptop-based softclient.

How is it installed and mounted?
The Room Bar uses a consolidated mounting kit for wall or display mounting, either above or below the screen, with a gap bar for a clean finish. It connects to displays via HDMI and pairs with the Room Navigator over a dedicated PoE Ethernet port. Because this is the No-Radio model, a wired LAN connection is required.

What displays and cabling does it need?
It supports one or two HDMI displays (outputs up to 3840×2160 at 60 fps) and includes an HDMI cable and power supply in the box. For AV system integration it provides an analog microphone input, USB-A and USB-C ports, and a PoE port for a Cisco IP microphone.

Can we expand audio coverage for larger rooms?
Yes. The internal microphone array is optimized for up to five people within three meters. For larger commercial meeting spaces, add an external Cisco Table or Ceiling Microphone Pro to extend audio pickup.

How is it managed across multiple rooms?
The Room Bar registers to Cisco Control Hub for cloud, on-premises, or hybrid deployment, providing centralized provisioning, software management, diagnostics, analytics, and workspace occupancy insights across the fleet.

What warranty and support are included?
The device carries a 1-year Cisco limited hardware warranty. Extended coverage and software entitlements are available through Cisco device subscriptions and SMARTnet-style support agreements.
