Logitech Rally Camera Extension Kit (952-000217)

Product Overview

The Logitech Rally Camera Extension Kit (952-000217) lets AV integrators place a Logitech Rally PTZ camera virtually anywhere in a room while keeping a single USB connection back to the host. By converting the camera link to a single category cable, it supports Rally Camera placement up to 100 meters (328 ft) from the control side box, solving the cable-length limits that constrain large conference room camera placement. It is purpose-built for commercial deployments where the optimal camera angle is far from the codec, mini PC, or table. The kit preserves full Rally Camera functionality over a standard Cat5e or better run.

Product Description

In most large rooms, the best sightline for a pan-tilt-zoom camera is nowhere near the host device, and standard USB cabling tops out long before it reaches. The Logitech Rally Camera Extension Kit resolves this by extending the Rally Camera connection over a single category cable, giving designers a clean, predictable way to handle conference room camera placement at distance.

The system uses two components. A camera side base mounts at the camera and connects to the Rally Camera through an integrated USB-C cable; a control side box sits near the host device and connects to it over USB-C (a USB-C to USB-A adapter is included). The two halves link over a single RJ45 category cable cut to length, so a single category cable camera extension replaces a tangle of repeaters or active USB runs. The base offers VESA 75 x 75 mm, 5/8-27 and 1/4-20 tripod threads, and a twist-to-lock plate, so it adapts to wall, ceiling, or pole mounts in commercial-grade installs.

Because the extension presents the Rally Camera as a standard USB device, it drops into USB video conferencing deployments on Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and Google without special drivers, and supports flexible multi-camera setups in the same room. Integrated cable retention and routing keep terminations tight and serviceable. For integrators standardizing on the Logitech Rally platform, this kit is the supported path to decouple camera location from host location in boardrooms, training rooms, and auditoriums.

Key Features

• 100 m Single-Cable Reach — Extends the Rally Camera up to 328 ft (100 m) over one Cat5e-or-better category cable, eliminating active-USB distance limits.
• Cut-to-Length Cabling — Field-terminate the category run to the exact distance needed for clean conference room camera placement.
• Standard USB Presentation — Presents the camera as a USB device for plug-and-play USB video conferencing on Teams, Zoom, and Google.
• Flexible Mounting — Camera side base supports VESA 75 x 75 mm, 5/8-27 and 1/4-20 threads, and a twist-to-lock plate for wall, ceiling, or pole installs.
• Two-Piece Architecture — Camera side base and control side box isolate the camera location from the host device location.
• Integrated Cable Management — Built-in cable retention and routing in the base keep terminations secure and serviceable.
• Multi-Camera Ready — Simplifies flexible multi-camera room designs in USB-based deployments.
• Status Indication — LED status indicators and a reboot button on the control side box speed commissioning and support.

Typical Applications

• Large conference room — Mount the camera at the ideal sightline while the host device stays in the credenza or rack.
• Boardroom — Place the Rally Camera for a clean head-on view of participants across a long table.
• Training room — Position the camera to capture both the instructor and the room.
• Multi-purpose room — Relocate the camera as the room reconfigures without re-cabling the host.
• All-hands / town hall room — Reach camera positions far from the codec or PC in large spaces.
• Auditorium — Extend to elevated or distant mounting points beyond standard USB range.
• House of worship — Mount discreetly at distance for clear capture of speakers and presenters.
• Government / commercial meeting space — Standardize Rally Camera placement across rooms of varying size.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which cameras does the Rally Camera Extension Kit work with?
It is designed specifically for the Logitech Rally Camera. The camera side base connects to the Rally Camera via an integrated USB-C cable, and the kit requires a Rally Camera to function.

How far can I extend the camera, and what cable do I need?
Up to 100 meters (328 ft) using Cat5e or better category cable with a diameter up to 7.4 mm. The category cable is not included and is cut to your required length during installation; actual performance varies by cable quality.

Does it work with Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and Google Meet?
Yes. The extension presents the Rally Camera as a standard USB device, so it integrates with USB-based Teams, Zoom, Google, and other conferencing deployments without additional drivers.

How does it integrate into an existing AV system?
The control side box connects to your host device (codec, mini PC, or room system) over USB-C, with a USB-C to USB-A adapter included. The camera side base mounts at the camera using VESA, tripod-thread, or twist-to-lock options, giving integrators flexible placement in the rack-to-camera signal path.

How is the system powered?
The control side box is powered by the included AC adapter (100-240V, 48V/1.0A) with regional plugs and a 1.5 m DC cable. No separate power is required at the camera side base.

What is the warranty and support coverage?
The kit carries a 2-Year Limited Hardware Warranty, with 1-Year and 3-Year extended warranty options available for purchase. Logitech provides commercial deployment documentation and support resources.

Can I use it for multi-camera rooms?
Yes. Because each kit extends one Rally Camera over its own category cable as a USB device, it supports flexible multi-camera room designs in USB-based deployments.
