Cisco Desk Pro G2 CS-DESKP-C-UK9 – Carbon Black Standalone Unit

Product Overview

Cisco lists the CS-DESKP-C-UK9 as the standalone unit form of the Desk Pro G2 in Carbon Black, which is the part number to quote when the endpoint is being added to an estate that already has its licensing, accessories and control surfaces sorted. Buyers reach for it during phased rollouts, where a floor is fitted out over several quarters and each tranche only needs the device itself. The hardware is the full Desk Pro G2: a 27-inch 4K touch display, a dual-lens camera with a 48MP telelens and a 14.5MP 105-degree wide-angle lens, and an eight-element beamforming microphone array. No end-of-sale notice is published for the Desk Pro G2, so units bought a year apart remain the same standard.

Product Description

The practical case for a standalone-unit order is inventory discipline. An organisation that has already agreed its cable specification, mount kits and licensing does not want another set of in-box accessories arriving with every device, and a unit-only line item keeps the bill of materials clean across a multi-phase deployment.

Nothing about the device itself changes. One USB-C cable carries 4K60 display extension, touch forwarding, camera, microphone and speaker passthrough to any software client and 80 W of laptop charging, with rear USB-C and USB-A ports acting as a permanent dock for keyboard, mouse and storage. Cisco states a cable supporting USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 and 100 W charging or better is required for best performance, which is worth confirming before a bulk cable order rather than after.

Network design is the same one drop per desk arrangement: an internal two-port Cisco Ethernet switch on 10/100/1000BASE-T serves the endpoint and a co-located PC, with Wi-Fi 6E available where no drop exists. Power is external through CS-PWR-CUBE-7= at 62 W typical in call, so the desk needs a mains outlet. Where the rollout also covers shared spaces, the video conference systems and collaboration and presentation ranges hold the room-side counterparts, and the full Cisco collaboration portfolio lists the accessory part numbers that a unit-only order deliberately leaves out.

Key Features

• Standalone unit ordering — Cisco publishes this SKU as a standalone unit, which suits phased rollouts and estates that already hold their own cable, mount and licensing stock.
• Dual-lens camera system — A 48MP 70-degree telelens and a 14.5MP 105-degree wide-angle lens, both with phase detection autofocus and backed by 2x optical and 5x digital zoom, let one unit frame a single person at a desk or a group of up to five.
• 27-inch 4K touch display — The 3840 x 2160 panel runs at 350 cd/m2 with 2000:1 contrast, 10-bit colour and 98% DCI-P3 coverage, which is enough colour accuracy for the device to serve as the user's primary monitor rather than a second screen.
• Single-cable laptop docking — One USB-C cable carries 4K60 display extension, touch forwarding, camera, microphone and speaker passthrough and 80 W of laptop charging, and Cisco states a cable supporting USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 and 100 W charging or better is required for best performance.
• Internal two-port Ethernet switch — The built-in 10/100/1000BASE-T switch gives a co-located PC network access through the endpoint, so each desk position needs only one structured cabling drop.
• Wi-Fi 6E radio — 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax support including Wi-Fi 6E on UNII-5 provides a wireless option for desk positions that never received a data drop.
• Multi-platform registration — Cisco lists Webex, Microsoft Teams Rooms, Zoom for Cisco Rooms, H.323, SIP, WebRTC and BYOM over USB-C passthrough, so a single SKU suits estates standardised on any of the major call-control platforms.
• VESA and wall mount option — The CS-DESKP-VESA-C= VESA adapter and wall mount kit covers both Desk Pro and Desk Pro G2, allowing an arm or wall position in place of the supplied desk stand.

Typical Applications

• Commercial meeting space — incremental additions to a floor already standardised on the Desk Pro G2.
• Executive workspace — single-desk deployments where the mount and cabling are already specified by the site standard.
• Huddle room — small rooms picked up in a later rollout phase than the main fit-out.
• Multi-purpose room — spaces reconfigured after the original project, where only the endpoint is being added.
