Cisco Room Bar Pro CS-BARPRO-C-K9= – Carbon Black Spare Service Unit

Product Overview

Finish is not a cosmetic afterthought on a 96 cm video bar mounted in a boardroom, which is why the spare has to match the installed base. CS-BARPRO-C-K9= is the Carbon Black Cisco Room Bar Pro service unit — Carbon Black being one of the two finishes Cisco documents for this product — supplied under the = spare designator rather than as a complete new room system. It is the correct line item for a break/fix replacement in a dark-finished medium room. Confirm on your quote whether a Room Navigator is included.

Product Description

Matched replacement matters more here than on smaller hardware because the bar is large and usually mounted at eye level beneath the display. Cisco's mounting design supports installation above or underneath the screens, and when fitted underneath the unit is turned upside down with the speaker grille de-attached and flipped to align — so an engineer swapping a bar must reproduce the original orientation as well as the original position.

The replacement restores the room's full capability: dual 48 MP cameras pairing a 112 degree wide-angle lens with a 70 degree tele-lens, motorized tilt from -2 to 20 degrees, three HDMI outputs at up to 3840 x 2160 at 60 fps, a three-channel loudspeaker system to 97 dB, and a 16-element beamforming array optimised for people seated within four metres.

Installation logistics are simplified by the built-in power supply: 100 to 240 VAC through a country-specific cord with no external brick, drawing an average 20 W in use. The unit is 37.8 x 4.3 x 3.5 in. (96 x 11 x 9 cm) at 9.86 lb. (4.47 kg), which is a two-person lift onto a wall bracket in practice. Compare finishes in video bars and displays in commercial displays.

Cisco publishes only First Light and Carbon Black for the Room Bar Pro, so confirm the finish of the installed units before ordering the spare. Medium-room hardware is listed under medium room solutions.

Key Features

• Cisco spare service unit — The = designator marks a service replacement for an installed bar, which is how a medium-room spares pool is stocked.
• Carbon Black finish — Cisco documents two finishes for the Room Bar Pro, so a Carbon Black spare matches a dark-finish installed base without a visible mismatch.
• Invertible mounting with gap bar — The consolidated mounting unit fits walls and displays above or underneath the screens, and the bar can be inverted with the speaker grille de-attached and flipped to match.
• Built-in power supply — An internal power supply removes the external brick, simplifying installation, reducing packaging and easing cable management behind the display.
• Dual 48 MP camera system — A 112 degree wide-angle lens and a 70 degree tele-lens, both on 48 MP sensors with motorized tilt between -2 and 20 degrees, cover the room and then frame the speaker without cropping quality away.
• Three-channel loudspeaker system — Three full-range drivers with a mechanically balanced dual woofer section deliver 70 Hz to 22 kHz at up to 97 dB maximum sound pressure level with directional audio.
• Three-screen support — Three HDMI outputs at up to 3840 x 2160 at 60 fps drive three displays for video and content, covering a dual-display room plus a content or signage screen without an external codec.
• 16-element beamforming microphone array — The array covers 120 Hz to 16 kHz and is optimised for small to medium rooms with people seated within four metres, with speaker tracking recommended to six metres.
• Kensington security slot — A safety key slot on the unit allows physical securing in open or shared rooms.

Typical Applications

• Boardroom — Dual cameras with AI virtual lens reach and a three-channel loudspeaker system at up to 97 dB suit a longer table where participants sit well back from the display.
• Conference room — Cisco positions the Room Bar Pro for medium-sized meeting spaces, with a microphone array optimised for people seated within four metres of the device.
• Commercial meeting space — Managed offices and client-facing suites get a single-box medium-room endpoint managed centrally in Control Hub with occupancy and environment reporting.
• Multi-purpose room — Meeting Zone framing perimeters and up to three screens let one room switch between meeting, briefing and presentation use without reconfiguration.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a complete new system or a service replacement?

The = suffix marks a Cisco spare or service unit, intended to replace a bar in an existing deployment rather than to be quoted as a complete new room system. Confirm on your quote whether a Room Navigator is included.

What finishes does Cisco publish for the Room Bar Pro?

Cisco documents two finishes, First Light and Carbon Black. No other colourways are published, so confirm the finish of your installed units before ordering a spare.

Does a Room Navigator ship with this SKU?

Cisco's Room Bar Pro documentation lists a Cisco Room Navigator for Table in First Light as part of the box contents, and publishes no standalone or Navigator-bundle variants for this product. Because part-number designators can differ from the base build, confirm on your quote whether a Navigator is included before pricing a control surface separately.

How does it mount?

A consolidated mounting unit for walls and displays ships in the box, with a gap bar covering the space between the bar and the display. It supports mounting above or underneath the screens, and when fitted underneath the unit can be inverted with the speaker grille de-attached and flipped to align.

How is the Room Bar Pro powered?

From a built-in power supply at 100 to 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz using a country-specific power cord. There is no external brick and no PoE input. Cisco publishes an average draw of 20 W, 12.7 W networked standby and 1 W standby.

How many displays can it drive?

Three. Cisco publishes 3x HDMI outputs supporting formats up to 3840 x 2160 at 60 fps with CEC 2.0, touchscreen compatible when used with the USB-A inputs for touch signalling. Only one 1.5 m HDMI cable ships in the box, so order cables for the second and third screens separately.

What size room does the Room Bar Pro suit?

Cisco publishes no headline room-size rating, describing it for medium-sized meeting spaces, medium meeting rooms and training rooms. The internal microphone array is optimised for people seated within four metres, and Cisco recommends the furthest participant be within six metres for optimal speaker tracking.

What warranty applies?

Cisco publishes a 1-year limited liability warranty for the Room Bar Pro. Warranty is handled per Cisco's standard terms for this product class — contact Creation Networks to confirm coverage for your order.
