Cisco Board Pro 55 G2 CS-BRDP55-NR-K9--= – No-Radio Custom Spare

Product Overview

Three ordering markers sit on this part number: NR for the no-radio hardware build, the double hyphen for Cisco's customized model, and the trailing equals sign for a spare service unit.

That combination points at one buyer, which is a secure programme that deployed a configured no-radio build and now needs a replacement that matches it exactly.

On the hardware side, Cisco states that Wi-Fi 6/6E is not available in non-radio versions and that Bluetooth 5.2 is not available on the No-Radio model.

The vendor description attaches a TAA reference to this configuration. Cisco marks TAA-compliant Board Pro units with the ++ suffix in its published ordering tables, so treat that reference as something to verify against the order paperwork before the unit enters a constrained programme.

Product Description

The more markers a part number carries, the longer it takes to source reactively, which is the practical argument for keeping one on the shelf rather than in a catalogue. A room in an accredited facility cannot be repaired with a nearest-equivalent unit without reopening the approval.

Everything the replacement needs is already in the room. The 10/100/1000 Ethernet LAN drop is reconnected with 802.1X authentication by passphrase or X.509 client certificate, the Cisco Room Navigator re-pairs over the 802.3af PoE port with its 15.4 W budget, and the wired content inputs are unchanged.

Those inputs matter more here than on a radio-equipped board, because wireless sharing is not available. USB-C DisplayPort Alternate Mode at 4Kp60 with up to 60 W power delivery covers a visiting laptop, and an HDCP-compatible HDMI 2.0 type A input at 4Kp60 covers a fixed source, with two HDMI 2.0 type A outputs at 4Kp60 downstream.

The security posture is preserved because the platform documentation is unchanged: 802.1Q VLAN, 802.1p QoS/CoS, SRTP with AES-128-GCM or AES-256-GCM, H.235 v3 with AES-128 or AES-256, and secure management over HTTPS and SSH.

For call control on a closed network, Cisco documents Unified Communications Manager 12.5(1) or later and Expressway, plus third-party H.323 gatekeepers and standards-based SIP proxies. Related items are listed in device and room control and interactive displays.

Key Features

• Three-part ordering match — No-radio build, customized model and spare designation are all recorded in one part number, so the repair matches the deployment.
• Radios not fitted — Cisco lists Wi-Fi 6/6E as not available in non-radio versions and Bluetooth 5.2 as not available on the No-Radio model.
• Accreditation preserved — Replacing like for like avoids reopening a room approval that was granted on a documented equipment list.
• Wired sharing at 4Kp60 — USB-C DisplayPort Alternate Mode with up to 60 W power delivery and HDMI 2.0 type A input both run at 3840 x 2160p60.
• Documented network security — 802.1X with passphrase or X.509 client certificate, 802.1Q VLAN, 802.1p QoS/CoS and SRTP encryption apply to the platform.
• Hedge against long lead times — Low-volume configured variants are slow to source after a failure, which is exactly what a shelf spare is for.

Typical Applications

• Government space — Accredited rooms built under a configured programme are restored without a change to the equipment list.
• Conference room — Secure conference rooms across a multi-site programme stay identical after a repair.
• Training room — Controlled teaching spaces keep their documented build.
• Multi-purpose room — Rooms specified to the stricter standard return to service without a waiver.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What does each part of the suffix mean?

NR is the no-radio hardware build, the double hyphen is Cisco's customized-model designation, and the trailing equals sign designates a spare or service unit.

Is this part TAA compliant?

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

What is not available on a no-radio unit?

Cisco lists Wi-Fi 6/6E as not available in non-radio versions and Bluetooth 5.2 as not available on the No-Radio model.

How do users share content?

Over the wired inputs: USB-C DisplayPort Alternate Mode at 4Kp60 with up to 60 W power delivery, or HDMI 2.0 type A at 4Kp60.

How is the board authenticated on the network?

802.1X network authentication using a passphrase or an X.509 client certificate.

Can the room work without a cloud connection?

Yes. Cisco documents on-premises registration to Cisco Unified Communications Manager 12.5(1) or later, or Cisco Expressway.

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.
