Poly TC10 – 10.1-Inch Touch Controller Black

Product Overview

The Poly TC10 touch controller in black is a 10.1-inch PoE touch panel that handles in-room call control and out-of-room room scheduling for HP Poly video systems. It connects over a single RJ-45 run to the Poly Studio X family or the Poly G7500 codec, giving a conference room one-tap meeting join, content share, mute, and volume control from the table. Multi-color LED lights show room availability and mute status from a distance, so the same panel also works as a door-side scheduling display. The black finish is the right specification for dark boardroom tables, walnut credenzas, and matte wall surfaces where a white panel would draw the eye.

Product Description

HP Poly built the TC10 around one cable. A single RJ-45 carries both data and power, drawn from a switch port supporting Power over Ethernet compatible with IEEE 802.3at class 0. That keeps the rough-in simple but not free: the switch serving the room needs headroom in its PoE budget for the controller alongside every other powered endpoint on that stack, and the structured cable path has to terminate wherever the panel will actually live. For tabletop use, pull a Cat 6 drop to the table grommet or the floor box under the table. For a scheduling panel, pull it to the wall or glass position beside the door. There is no separate power supply to hide under the table and no USB run back to the codec, which is the main reason integrators standardize on it over PC-attached control surfaces.

The 10.1-inch IPS display runs 1280 x 800 at a 1000:1 contrast ratio with 75-degree horizontal and vertical viewing angles, which is what lets the panel stay legible from two seats down the table or from the corridor outside the door. Mounting is decided at the same time as the cable path: the unit ships with a wall mount kit, a table stand, and mounting hardware in the box, and HP Poly supports wall, glass, and table placement from that hardware. The table stand adjusts for angle so ceiling fixtures do not wash out the screen. Confirm the mount type before rough-in, because a glass or wall position needs the drop and the back box coordinated with the millwork or glazing contractor, while a table position needs the grommet located where the panel will not block a sightline to the display.

The TC10 is certified for Zoom and Microsoft Teams, and when paired to a Poly Video OS system it also supports native experiences for Zoom Rooms, 8x8, BlueJeans, GoToRoom, Tencent, RingCentral, and DialPad. Common pairings are the Poly Studio X52 video bar in medium conference rooms, the Poly Studio X70 or Poly Studio X72 in large rooms and boardrooms, and the Poly G7500 modular codec where the room needs separate cameras and ceiling microphones. If the room finish calls for a lighter panel, the identical controller is stocked as the Poly TC10 in white; where an 8-inch surface is enough and the switch only supplies 802.3af, specify the Poly TC8 touch controller instead. Provisioning, firmware, and health monitoring run through Poly Lens alongside the host video system, and the panel supports 802.1x for networks that authenticate every port.

Key Features

• 10.1-Inch IPS Touch Display — A 1280 x 800 panel with 1000:1 contrast gives room users a control surface large enough to read the calendar and the call controls at a glance.
• Single-Cable PoE Installation — One RJ-45 run carries data and power, so the table or wall position needs a network drop rather than a drop plus a local outlet.
• 75-Degree Viewing Angles — Horizontal and vertical viewing angles keep the screen readable from off-axis seats and from the corridor when the panel is used for scheduling.
• Multi-Color LED Status Lights — Availability and mute status are visible from across the room or down the hallway without waking the screen.
• Wall, Glass, or Table Mounting — The wall mount kit, table stand, and mounting hardware ship in the box, so the mount decision does not add a separate line item.
• In-Room Control and Room Scheduling — One device covers tap-to-join call control inside the room and bookable-space scheduling outside it, reducing the panel count per room.
• Certified for Zoom and Microsoft Teams — The controller carries platform certification and drives native cloud video app experiences on Poly Video OS systems.
• 802.1x Network Authentication — The panel authenticates on managed networks, which matters where every access port is controlled by policy.
• Poly Lens Management — Firmware, configuration, and device health are handled centrally alongside the host codec or video bar.
• Black Finish — Matches dark tables, dark millwork, and low-light boardrooms where a white controller would be the brightest object in the room.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Poly room systems does the TC10 pair with?
HP Poly publishes compatibility with the Poly Studio X family of video bars and the Poly G7500 modular codec. In practice that covers medium-room installs on the Studio X52 and large-room installs on the Studio X70 or X72, plus G7500 rooms using separate cameras and microphones. If your fleet includes newer Poly Video OS platforms such as the Studio G62, confirm controller support against the release notes for the firmware version you are running before ordering.

What does the TC10 need from the network switch?
One RJ-45 port supplying Power over Ethernet compatible with IEEE 802.3at class 0. Include the controller in the PoE budget calculation for the switch serving the room, not just the port count — an edge switch already powering access points, cameras, and phones can run out of headroom before it runs out of ports. The panel supports 802.1x if the port requires authentication.

Does the TC10 need its own power supply at the table?
No. Power and data both arrive on the single Ethernet run, so the table position needs a network drop through the grommet or floor box and nothing else. That is a meaningful difference from control surfaces that require a local outlet or a USB run back to a room PC.

How is the TC10 mounted, and is the mount included?
The wall mount kit, table stand, and mounting hardware are all in the box, and HP Poly supports wall, glass, and table placement. Decide the mount before rough-in: a wall or glass position needs the cable drop and back box coordinated with the drywall, millwork, or glazing trade, while a table position needs the grommet located clear of sightlines to the display.

What is the difference between the black and white TC10?
They are the same controller with the same display, PoE class, ports, and mounting hardware — the difference is finish. Specify black for dark tables, dark millwork, and low-light boardrooms; specify the Poly TC10 in white for light rooms, white glass walls, and pale table tops. Pricing differs between the two SKUs, so check both before finalizing a multi-room order.

Should I specify the TC10 or the TC8?
The TC10 gives a 10.1-inch display and doubles as an out-of-room scheduling panel with LED availability lights, and it draws 802.3at class 0 PoE. The Poly TC8 is an 8-inch in-room controller that runs on 802.3af class 3, which can be the deciding factor on an older switch with a limited PoE budget.

Can the TC10 be used outside the room as a scheduling panel?
Yes. It shows the room schedule and books available spaces from the wall or glass position outside the door, and the multi-color LED lights indicate vacancy from a distance so staff do not need to approach the panel to see whether a room is free.

What warranty and support come with the controller?
The TC10 carries the Poly standard one-year limited warranty. Poly+ service agreements are sold separately for extended coverage, advance hardware replacement, and technical support. Contact Creation Networks for the coverage tier that matches your deployment and for volume or project pricing.
