Sound Control Technologies RCU2E-A00 – USB Camera Extension Kit for Minrray

Product Overview

The Sound Control Technologies RCU2E-A00 is a camera-specific USB 2.0 extension kit engineered for Minrray PTZ cameras in commercial AV installations. This RemoteCamUSB2E kit extends USB 2.0/UVC video, Ethernet, 5V/12V/PoE camera power, and bi-directional audio over a single CAT cable run — eliminating the need for multiple cable paths or external power supplies at the camera end. Designed for AV integrators deploying Minrray cameras in conference rooms, boardrooms, and corporate meeting spaces where clean, long-distance camera runs are required.

Product Description

The RCU2E-A00 is a complete camera extension kit that includes both the camera-end (CE) module and the head-end (HE) module, pre-configured with the specific cable assembly required for Minrray PTZ cameras. Installation requires a field-terminated CAT 5e/6 cable between the two modules — no additional signal converters or power adapters are needed at the camera location. The head-end module connects to the room's USB host (codec, PC, or BYOM device) and local network switch, while the camera-end module delivers USB data, Ethernet connectivity, and camera power to the Minrray camera. Bi-directional audio is carried on the same CAT cable, supporting integrated AV system designs where audio and video share infrastructure. The RCU2E platform is a proven commercial-grade solution for permanent installation in conference rooms, training rooms, and all-hands spaces where camera placement is dictated by room geometry rather than cable routing convenience. Each kit ships as a matched pair with the correct camera-specific cable assembly — no field sourcing of proprietary cables required.

Key Features

• USB 2.0/UVC Extension — Extends full USB 2.0 bandwidth for UVC-class PTZ cameras over CAT cable without compression or signal degradation.
• Integrated Ethernet — Carries a dedicated Ethernet channel on the same CAT run for camera network management and control.
• 5V/12V/PoE Camera Power Delivery — Delivers camera power over the CAT cable, eliminating the need for a local power outlet at the camera mount location.
• Bi-Directional Audio — Supports bi-directional audio transport on the same cable infrastructure for integrated AV room designs.
• Minrray PTZ Camera Compatible — Kit includes the correct camera-specific cable assembly for Minrray cameras — no custom fabrication required.
• Matched CE/HE Module Pair — Ships with both camera-end and head-end modules pre-configured for immediate deployment.
• Commercial-Grade Construction — Manufactured in the USA/Taiwan for permanent installation in commercial AV environments.
• Single CAT Cable Run — Consolidates USB, Ethernet, power, and audio on one cable, reducing conduit fill and installation labor.

Typical Applications

• Conference room camera installations with extended cable runs
• Boardroom AV systems with ceiling- or wall-mounted PTZ cameras
• Corporate meeting spaces with BYOD/BYOM codec deployments
• Training rooms requiring flexible camera placement
• All-hands rooms and large meeting spaces
• Government spaces requiring clean, consolidated cable infrastructure

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Minrray cameras are compatible with the RCU2E-A00?

The RCU2E-A00 is configured with the cable assembly required for Minrray PTZ cameras. Contact Creation Networks or review the SCT compatibility documentation to confirm support for your specific Minrray model before ordering.

Does this kit require a separate power supply at the camera?

No. The RCU2E platform delivers 5V, 12V, and PoE power over the CAT cable from the head-end module. A local power outlet at the camera mount location is not required for compatible cameras.

What cable is used between the CE and HE modules?

A standard CAT 5e or CAT 6 cable is field-terminated between the camera-end and head-end modules. The kit includes the camera-specific cable assembly at each end — only the CAT run between modules needs to be provided and terminated on-site.

Can I use this kit with a BYOD/BYOM conferencing system?

Yes. The head-end module presents a standard USB 2.0 UVC device to the host system, making it compatible with any BYOD or BYOM platform that supports USB cameras.

Is the RCU2E-A00 suitable for plenum installations?

Contact Creation Networks to confirm plenum rating status for your specific installation requirements before specifying this product for plenum cable runs.

What warranty applies to this product?

Contact Creation Networks for current Sound Control Technologies warranty terms applicable to the RCU2E product line.
