Cisco Room Bar Pro CS-BARPRO-NR-K9++ – TAA No-Radio Video Bar

Product Overview

A federal briefing or training room that bars wireless emitters needs a part number that satisfies both the procurement rule and the RF rule, and CS-BARPRO-NR-K9++ is that SKU for the Cisco Room Bar Pro. The ++ suffix marks Cisco's TAA part numbers, described by Cisco as TAA for U.S. Government; NR marks the build in which Cisco states Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are not available. What remains is a full medium-room endpoint: dual 48 MP cameras, three HDMI outputs at 3840 x 2160 at 60 fps and AES67 microphone expansion. Cisco lists a Room Navigator for Table in the box.

Product Description

Buying both attributes in one line item is what keeps the accreditation and the contract aligned. Because the radio is absent from the hardware rather than disabled in configuration, the RF argument rests on the build itself, and Cisco's compliance listing reflects that: non-radio versions fall under the EMC Directive 2014/30/EU and Low-Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU rather than the Radio Equipment Directive.

Room capability is not reduced by the radio removal. The dual camera pairs a 112 degree wide-angle lens with a 70 degree tele-lens at f/1.85 with motorized tilt from -2 to 20 degrees, reaching 4 m for a single-person frame and 7 m for two, extended by AI virtual lens to 5.5 m and 8 m. Three HDMI outputs cover video, content and a third screen, and are touchscreen compatible with the USB-A inputs used for touch signalling.

Audio scales for a briefing room over structured cabling. Two dedicated 802.3af PoE ports at 15.4 W each carry audio over IP for up to eight Cisco IP microphones, or eight third-party AES67 devices with the AV Integrator License (L-BARPRO-AV), alongside two analogue line inputs and an analogue line output for an existing DSP. Compare endpoints in video bars and microphone options in microphones.

Network security documentation covers 802.1X, 802.1Q VLAN, HTTPS and SSH management, SRTP with AES-128-GCM or AES-256-GCM and a Manufacturer Installed Certificate for CAPF onboarding to Cisco UCM, with a Kensington slot for physical security. Federal medium-room designs are grouped under medium room solutions.

Key Features

• TAA part number for U.S. Government — Cisco describes its ++ SKUs as TAA for U.S. Government, so the unit can be quoted under Trade Agreements Act procurement rules.
• 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.
• 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.
• AI virtual lens zoom enhancement — Software zoom extends usable speaker-view reach to 5.5 m for a single-person frame and 8 m for a two-person frame in long, narrow rooms, against a native reach of 4 m and 7 m.
• 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.
• AES67 audio-over-IP expansion — Two dedicated 802.3af PoE ports with a 15.4 W budget each carry audio over IP for up to eight Cisco IP microphones or eight third-party AES67 digital microphones over structured cabling.
• 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.
• Media encryption and certificate management — SRTP with AES-128-GCM or AES-256-GCM, H.235 v3 with AES, and a Manufacturer Installed Certificate signed by Cisco's manufacturing CA for CAPF onboarding to Cisco UCM.
• Kensington security slot — A safety key slot on the unit allows physical securing in open or shared rooms.
• Built-in power supply — An internal power supply removes the external brick, simplifying installation, reducing packaging and easing cable management behind the display.

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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Multi-purpose room — Meeting Zone framing perimeters and up to three screens let one room switch between meeting, briefing and presentation use without reconfiguration.
• 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.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this SKU TAA compliant?

The ++ suffix marks Cisco's TAA part numbers, which Cisco describes as TAA for U.S. Government. Agencies procuring under Trade Agreements Act rules should quote the ++ part number specifically; contact Creation Networks for the documentation your contracting officer requires.

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.

Which EU directives apply to the non-radio version?

Cisco lists non-radio versions under Directive 2014/30/EU (EMC) and Directive 2014/35/EU (Low Voltage). RoHS 2011/65/EU and WEEE 2012/19/EU apply to all versions; the Radio Equipment Directive 2014/53/EU covers radio versions only.

How are additional microphones added?

Two dedicated 802.3af PoE ports with a 15.4 W budget each support audio over IP for up to eight Cisco IP microphones or eight third-party AES67 digital microphones. Cisco notes a PoE-compatible switch may be required depending on microphone count, and that third-party AES67 microphones need the AV Integrator License (L-BARPRO-AV).

How is the device secured on the network?

Cisco documents 802.1X network authentication, 802.1Q VLAN and 802.1p CoS, secure management over HTTPS and SSH, SRTP media encryption with AES-128-GCM or AES-256-GCM, and a Manufacturer Installed Certificate signed by Cisco's manufacturing CA for CAPF onboarding to Cisco UCM. A Kensington safety key slot is provided for physical security.

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.
