Cisco Board Pro 55 G2 CS-BRDP55-K9--= – Customized Model Spare

Product Overview

When a rollout was ordered as a customized model, the spare has to be ordered the same way. CS-BRDP55-K9--= carries both markers: the double hyphen for Cisco's customized-model designation and the trailing equals sign for a spare service unit.

It is bought to repair a room that already exists, in a programme where the configuration was agreed before deployment.

Note also that the distributor lists this configuration as TAA. Cisco's own ordering tables use the ++ suffix for TAA-compliant Board Pro variants, so a federal buyer should verify the compliance status on the order documentation rather than on the description.

The platform underneath is the published Board Pro 55 G2: a 55-inch 4K UHD multi-touch panel, dual 48 MP camera sensors, a 14-element beamforming microphone array and integrated multi-channel loudspeakers.

Product Description

The failure mode this SKU prevents is subtle. A configured rollout replaced with a default-carton board still works, but the room ends up with different accessories, a different mounting kit or a different accessory bundle from every other room in the programme, and that difference surfaces later as an inventory and support problem.

Ordering the configured spare keeps the estate uniform. Confirm the build sheet against Cisco's standard carton contents, which are the display, two integrated cameras, the microphone array, speakers, two active stylus pens, a wall mount kit, a power cord for the country specified in the order and lifting handles, with the wall mount kit removed when a floor stand or wall stand was selected.

On site the swap is routine. The board attaches on the existing 10/100/1000 Ethernet LAN port, the Cisco Room Navigator re-pairs over the 802.3af PoE port with its 15.4 W budget, and content sources reconnect to the USB-C DisplayPort Alternate Mode input at 4Kp60 or the HDCP-compatible HDMI 2.0 type A input at 4Kp60.

Board-only weight is 40 kg on the G1 and G2 generations, so the visit needs two people and a route agreed in advance. Any Cisco microphones on the audio-over-IP port and any analog microphones reconnect unchanged.

Registration returns to the room's existing method: Webex activation, Cisco Unified Communications Manager 12.5(1) or later, Cisco Expressway, third-party H.323 gatekeepers or standards-based SIP proxies, from RoomOS 11.15. Mounting spares are listed in display mounts and comparable endpoints in interactive displays.

Key Features

• Customized model plus spare designation — The part number records both an agreed configuration and a service-unit order, so a repair matches the original rollout.
• Uniform estate after repair — Replacing configured hardware with configured hardware keeps accessories, mounting and inventory consistent across the programme.
• Published G2 platform — Panel, dual 48 MP camera system, beamforming microphone array and port set match the standard Board Pro 55 G2 specifications.
• Existing cabling and mount reused — LAN, PoE for the Room Navigator, USB-C and HDMI terminations and the installed mounting hardware all stay in place.
• Single software baseline — RoomOS 11.15 or later applies to the G2 generation, so the replacement stays on the fleet's release train.
• Documented carton contents to check against — Cisco publishes the standard box contents, which gives a baseline for verifying what a configured order should include.

Typical Applications

• Conference room — Rooms delivered under a configured rollout are repaired with matching hardware.
• Training room — Teaching estates built to one specification stay uniform after a failure.
• Commercial meeting space — Multi-site programmes keep inventory and support documentation consistent.
• Government space — Documented equipment lists are preserved through a break/fix replacement.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What do the two suffixes mean together?

The double hyphen is Cisco's customized-model designation in the Board Pro G2 and G3 ordering tables, and the trailing equals sign designates a spare or service unit.

Is this SKU TAA compliant?

Cisco's published TAA designation on the Board Pro ordering tables is the ++ suffix. The distributor description for this part also refers to a TAA configuration, so confirm compliance status against your order paperwork.

Does the configured spare install differently?

No. The port set, the 15.4 W 802.3af PoE budget for a Room Navigator and the mounting interfaces are the same as the standard SKU.

What should be verified before ordering?

The build sheet, particularly the mounting option, since Cisco removes the wall mount kit from the carton when a floor stand or wall stand is selected.

How heavy is the board?

40 kg board-only on the G1 and G2 Board Pro 55, with lifting handles supplied.

Which call control does it support?

Webex activation, Cisco Unified Communications Manager 12.5(1) or later, Cisco Expressway, third-party H.323 gatekeepers and standards-based SIP proxies, and Microsoft Teams Rooms on Android.

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.
