Sound Control Technologies RCU2S-AA8 – USB 2.0 + RS-232 Camera Exte...
Product Overview
The Sound Control Technologies RCU2S-AA8 is a USB 2.0 camera extension kit with RS-232 serial control loop, designed for PTZ camera deployments requiring both USB video and serial PTZ control over a single CAT cable run. The AA8 variant extends USB 2.0/UVC video, bi-directional audio, RS-232 serial control, and 5V/12V camera power up to 300 feet over a single CAT5e or CAT6 cable. The A8 designation indicates inclusion of the RS-232 control loop. Contact Creation Networks for the exact camera models supported by this AA8 cable kit configuration. Suitable for conference rooms, boardrooms, and commercial installations with RS-232 PTZ camera control requirements.
Product Description
The RCU2S-AA8 places a Head End (HE) unit at the codec or RS-232 control source and a Camera End (CE) unit at the camera location. A single CAT5e or CAT6 cable between these units carries USB 2.0/UVC video, bi-directional RS-232 serial control, bi-directional audio, and 5V/12V camera power. The RS-232 channel enables PTZ camera control commands from the codec or control system to reach the camera over the same structured cabling run used for USB video.
Power delivery at the camera end supports 5V and 12V DC, eliminating the need for a separate local power supply. The bi-directional audio channel carries microphone or intercom signals. UVC compliance ensures the camera appears as a standard USB video device on any USB 2.0 host without proprietary drivers. The AA8 cable kit variant is matched to specific camera models — contact Creation Networks to confirm compatibility before ordering.
