Cisco Board Pro 75 CS-BRD75P-K9= – 75-Inch Spare Service Unit

Product Overview

Held on a shelf, CS-BRD75P-K9= is insurance for a room that cannot be down for a procurement cycle. It is the Cisco Board Pro 75 spare service unit, ordered to replace a 75-inch board already in service.

The same part number carries a second role: Cisco names CS-BRD75P-K9 as the migration part for the end-of-sale Webex Board 70S and Webex Board 85S, so this platform is what an older S-series board is replaced with.

Board Pro 75 G1 reached end of sale on November 26, 2024 after the May 28, 2024 end-of-life announcement, and Cisco set the last date of support at November 30, 2029.

Hardware is the standard encryption-enabled G1 build: 75-inch 4K touch panel, dual 4K 12 MP cameras, 14-element beamforming microphone array and integrated multi-channel loudspeakers.

Product Description

Sparing a 75-inch board is as much a logistics decision as a technical one. At a published board-only weight of 72 kg and G1 dimensions of 1658 x 70 x 940 mm, the replacement is a two-person lift with a planned route, and the storage location should be chosen with that in mind. Lifting handles are supplied with the unit.

On site, the swap reuses what is already installed. The existing wall mount kit, wall stand or floor stand stays in place, and the cable set is unchanged: LAN on 10/100/1000 Ethernet, a separate 802.3af PoE port with a 15.4 W budget for the Cisco Room Navigator, an Ethernet port for external camera control and an audio-over-IP port supporting up to three Cisco Table Microphone Pro units.

Source connections are identical to the failed unit, so no re-termination is needed: USB-C DisplayPort Alternate Mode at 4Kp60, HDCP-compatible HDMI 2.0 type A input at 4Kp30, one HDMI 2.0 type A output at 4Kp60, two analog microphone inputs and a 3.5 mm stereo line out.

Registration follows the room's existing configuration, whether that is Webex cloud activation, native on-premises registration to Cisco Unified Communications Manager or Cisco Expressway from 10.5.2 with the device pack, a third-party SIP proxy or H.323 gatekeeper, or Microsoft Teams Rooms on Android. Minimum software is RoomOS 10.11.

Sites weighing whether to spare or refresh can compare the current lineup in video conference systems and the wider Cisco range, and check mounting stock in display mounts if the original bracket was damaged on removal.

Key Features

• Cisco spare designation — The trailing equals sign marks this as a service unit ordered against an existing deployment rather than a new room.
• Like-for-like 75-inch replacement — The panel, camera system, microphone array and user interface match the deployed board, so no retraining or documentation change follows the swap.
• Named migration part for older boards — Cisco lists CS-BRD75P-K9 as the replacement for both the Webex Board 70S and the Webex Board 85S.
• Published weight for handling plans — A board-only weight of 72 kg on the G1 and G2 generations lets a site plan lifting, storage and transport before the unit arrives.
• Existing mount and cabling retained — The replacement uses the same wall mount, stand and Ethernet runs, keeping a break/fix visit to a single trade.
• Support to November 30, 2029 — Cisco's published last date of support defines the useful life of a G1 sparing programme.

Typical Applications

• Boardroom — A visible, high-stakes room is the first place an organisation justifies holding a spare board.
• Conference room — Standardised medium conference rooms are returned to service with identical hardware.
• Training room — Teaching spaces with a fixed timetable cannot absorb a multi-week replacement lead time.
• Commercial meeting space — Multi-site estates keep central service units and dispatch to whichever building reports the fault.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between CS-BRD75P-K9 and CS-BRD75P-K9=?

The hardware is the same Board Pro 75. The trailing equals sign is Cisco's spare or service-unit designation, used when the order replaces a unit already deployed rather than building a new room.

Does this unit replace a Webex Board 85S?

Cisco names CS-BRD75P-K9 as the migration part for both the Webex Board 70S and the Webex Board 85S, so the 75-inch Board Pro is the documented replacement for an installed 85-inch S-series board.

What should we plan for the physical swap?

Cisco publishes a board-only weight of 72 kg for the G1 and G2 generations, and lifting handles are supplied. Route, lifting method and temporary storage should be agreed before the visit.

Will the existing Room Navigator work with the replacement?

Yes. The board provides an 802.3af PoE Ethernet port with a 15.4 W power budget for a Cisco Room Navigator, and the controller re-pairs to the new unit.

How long is the platform supported?

Cisco set the last date of support for Board Pro 75 G1 at November 30, 2029, after end of sale on November 26, 2024.

What power does the board need?

Mains power at 4.0-2.0 A, 100-240 V, 50/60 Hz, Class I. The board is not powered over Ethernet.

What warranty applies?

Cisco publishes a 90-day limited liability warranty for this product class. Warranty is handled per Cisco's standard terms; contact Creation Networks to confirm coverage for your order.
