Cisco Room Bar Pro CS-BARPRO-NR-K9--= – Customized No-Radio Spare Unit

Product Overview

Three designators stack on this part number and each one matters at ordering: NR for the non-radio build in which Cisco states Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are not available, -- for a customized model, and the trailing = for a Cisco spare or service unit rather than a complete new room system. It is the line item held against a secure medium-room estate that was deployed on a configured no-radio build and now needs a matching replacement. The hardware baseline is the current Cisco Room Bar Pro for medium meeting spaces and training rooms.

Product Description

A secure room that has been approved on the basis of a no-radio endpoint cannot take a standard unit as a substitute, whatever the urgency. Holding a matching spare is therefore not a convenience but a continuity requirement, and where the original deployment used a customized part number the spare should carry the same designation so the asset record and the approval file stay aligned.

The wired capability that a replacement restores is substantial: three HDMI outputs to 3840 x 2160 at 60 fps with CEC 2.0, one HDMI and one USB-C input each to 3840 x 2160 at 30 fps, USB-C passthrough for a connected computer, two analogue line inputs, one analogue line output and two USB-A audio outputs. What the no-radio build lacks is Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Miracast and Bluetooth-discovered AirPlay.

Fitting the spare reuses the room's existing infrastructure. The consolidated mounting unit fits walls and displays above or underneath the screens with the bar invertible and the speaker grille de-attachable, and the built-in power supply means only a country-specific power cord is required rather than an external brick. Compare secure-room endpoints in video bars and medium room solutions.

Because Cisco does not publish what a customization contains, confirm the exact build against your Cisco quote before the purchase order. Creation Networks can also price the standard no-radio part number alongside it — see the wider Cisco range.

Key Features

• Cisco spare service unit — The = designator marks a service replacement for an installed bar, the correct line item when maintaining a deployed estate rather than fitting a new room.
• No-radio hardware variant — Cisco publishes non-radio SKUs in which Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are not available, which is what secure and RF-restricted facilities require before a device is approved.
• Customized model designator — Cisco uses -- for a special-configuration order, so a spare carrying the same marker keeps the asset record and approval file consistent.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Analogue line in and out plus USB audio — Two analogue line inputs, one analogue line output and two USB-A audio outputs give conventional paths to an external DSP, an assistive listening feed or overflow loudspeakers.
• Built-in power supply — An internal power supply removes the external brick, simplifying installation, reducing packaging and easing cable management behind the display.
• 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.

Typical Applications

• Government space — Documented 802.1X authentication, SRTP media encryption and manufacturer-installed certificates support the security review a government room has to pass.
• 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.
• Training room — Three HDMI outputs and presenter tracking with the Cisco PTZ 4K Camera cover a presenter, the material and remote participants at the same time.
• 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 does the -- suffix indicate?

Cisco uses -- to mark a customized model, meaning a special-configuration order rather than the standard catalogue build. Cisco does not publish what a given customization contains, so confirm the exact configuration against your Cisco quote before ordering.

What is removed on a non-radio unit?

Cisco states Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are not available on the non-radio version. That removes the Wi-Fi 6E tri-band radio, Bluetooth and Bluetooth Low Energy, Miracast sharing, and Bluetooth discovery for Apple AirPlay, which falls back to Bonjour service discovery. Wired Ethernet is required.

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 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.
