Cisco Room Bar (Carbon Color) with table-stand Room Navigator - CS-BAR-T-C-K9

Product Overview

The Cisco Room Bar (CS-BAR-T-C-K9) in Carbon Black is the dark-finish variant of Cisco's compact all-in-one video collaboration bar, bundled with the table-stand Room Navigator. Functionally identical to the First Light version, it delivers 4K AI-framed video, a 7-element beamforming microphone array, and native support for Webex, Microsoft Teams Rooms, and Zoom Rooms in a single bar form factor. The Carbon Black finish suits corporate environments with dark-panel AV installations or rooms where the device mounts below a black commercial display. It supports PoE+ deployment and single-cable USB-C BYOD, making it a practical choice for integrators deploying standardized small conference room AV systems across enterprise facilities.
