Sound Control Technologies RCU2E-A40 – USB Camera Extension Kit for Minrray, Lumens

Product Overview

The Sound Control Technologies RCU2E-A40 is a USB 2.0 camera extension kit for Minrray and Lumens PTZ cameras, built on the RemoteCamUSB2E platform. It extends USB 2.0/UVC video, Ethernet, 5V/12V/PoE camera power, and bi-directional audio over a single CAT cable run, with the specific cable assembly required for Minrray and Lumens cameras included in the kit. This is a purpose-built solution for AV integrators installing PTZ cameras in conference rooms and corporate meeting spaces where long cable runs and clean infrastructure are required.

Product Description

The RCU2E-A40 ships as a matched camera-end (CE) and head-end (HE) module pair, pre-configured with the cable assembly for Minrray and Lumens PTZ cameras. The head-end module connects to a USB host — codec, PC, or BYOM device — and a local Ethernet switch, while the camera-end module supplies USB data, network connectivity, and camera power to the supported camera. Bi-directional audio is carried concurrently on the same CAT cable. No external power supply is required at the camera mount location for compatible cameras. The RCU2E platform consolidates USB, Ethernet, power, and audio on a single CAT 5e/6 run, simplifying conduit planning and reducing installation time in conference rooms, boardrooms, training rooms, and all-hands spaces. The camera-specific cable assembly is included, eliminating the need to source proprietary connectors in the field.
