Cisco Webex Board 85S CS-BOARD85S-NR-K7 – Non-Radio 85-Inch Main Unit

Product Overview

CS-BOARD85S-NR-K7 is the main-unit form of the non-radio Cisco Webex Board 85S — the same hardware as the equals-sign service unit, ordered as a system rather than as a spare. Distributors list it as the Cisco Webex Board 85S, Non Radio, Non Encryption. It is an 85-inch direct-lit 4K touch panel with a fixed 4Kp60 camera, a 12-element microphone array with intelligent voice tracking, an integrated speaker system and whiteboarding, built for what Cisco describes as the largest collaboration spaces: halls, training spaces and classrooms. The 85S is end-of-sale as of May 10, 2022, with a last date of support of May 31, 2027 and Cisco's stated migration to the Board Pro 75 family.

Product Description

Where the service-unit form is bought to fix a room, this part number is what appears on a procurement schedule for a room that is being built or completed. That distinction matters for the paperwork rather than the panel: check which form your standard actually specifies before ordering, because the two are not interchangeable in a purchasing system even though they are the same board.

Two engineering figures drive the design. First, power: 352 W idle or active and 41 W standby from an autosensing 100-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz supply, drawing up to 4.6 A. That is materially more than the 55S or 70S and worth checking against the circuit serving the room, particularly in a classroom retrofit sharing a spur with other equipment. Second, mass: 100 kg [220 lb] for the board at 1221 x 1966 x 76 mm, with packaged weights of 199 kg on the wall mount kit, 213 kg on the wall stand and 233 kg on the floor stand.

Without radios the board is a wired device: one Ethernet (RJ-45) 100/1000 Mbps drop, with CDP, 802.1X, 802.1Q VLAN, 802.1p QoS, HTTP(S) proxy support and TLS proxy inspection documented. A single 4K-capable HDMI input takes wired sources, USB-C handles touch redirect, and the 3.5 mm mini-jack line output feeds house audio. Creation Networks lists it under interactive displays, with room packages in large room solutions and mounting hardware in display mounts.

Key Features

• Main-unit ordering form — This part number is the system form rather than the equals-sign service form, which is the distinction a procurement schedule cares about.
• Non-radio construction — The 802.11 radios are not fitted, so the board suits classrooms, halls and secured buildings where wireless emitters are restricted.
• 85-inch direct-lit 4K panel — The largest display in the Board family keeps content and remote participants legible across a hall without a projector.
• Published power figures — 352 W idle or active, 41 W standby and 4.6 A maximum let the supply circuit be verified before a retrofit.
• Packaged weights by mount — 199 kg with the wall mount kit, 213 kg with the wall stand and 233 kg with the floor stand give a rigging contractor firm quoting data.
• House audio output — The 3.5 mm mini-jack line output connects the board to an existing reinforcement or assistive listening system.
• Enterprise network support — CDP, 802.1X, 802.1Q VLAN, 802.1p QoS, HTTP(S) proxy and TLS proxy inspection cover managed network requirements.

Typical Applications

• Auditorium — the largest collaboration spaces Cisco targets with an 85-inch board.
• Training room — a teaching panel with annotation, sized for a full class rather than a meeting table.
• Government space — a non-radio build for buildings where wireless emitters are not permitted.
• House of worship — large-format content in a space where a projector would be impractical.
