{"product_id":"rcu2s-b1b6™-supporting-avers-ptc500","title":"Sound Control Technologies RCU2S-B1B6 – USB 2.0 + RS-232 Extension Kit for AVer PTC500+","description":"\u003ch2\u003eProduct Overview\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Sound Control Technologies RCU2S-B1B6 is a USB 2.0 camera extension kit with RS-232 serial control loop, designed for the AVer PTC500+ PTZ camera. It extends USB 2.0\/UVC video, bi-directional audio, RS-232 PTZ control, and 5V\/12V camera power up to 300 feet over a single CAT cable. The B6 designation indicates inclusion of the RS-232 serial control loop, and the kit is matched specifically to the AVer PTC500+ camera interface. This product is the purpose-built SCT solution for AV integrators deploying the AVer PTC500+ in conference rooms, boardrooms, and training rooms where the camera must be placed at distance from the codec or control system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe RCU2S-B1B6 extends all required signals for an AVer PTC500+ deployment up to 300 feet over a single CAT5e or CAT6 cable run. The Head End (HE) connects to the codec or USB host and RS-232 control output; the Camera End (CE) connects directly to the AVer PTC500+ using the B1B6 cable kit. The RS-232 control loop is bidirectional, carrying PTZ control commands from the codec or control system to the camera and returning feedback where applicable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePower delivery at the camera end supports 5V and 12V DC, so the AVer PTC500+ does not require a separate local power supply at the camera mount. The bi-directional audio channel is also carried, supporting any audio functionality of the connected camera. UVC compliance means the AVer PTC500+ is recognized as a standard USB video device on any USB 2.0 host without proprietary driver installation — compatible with Microsoft Teams Rooms, Zoom Rooms, Cisco, Poly, and BYOM platforms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe single-cable approach — USB 2.0, RS-232, audio, and power over one CAT cable — replaces up to three separate cable runs in a conventional AVer PTC500+ installation. Replacement modules (RCU2S-CE and RCU2S-HE) are available separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAVer PTC500+ Specific Cable Kit\u003c\/strong\u003e — Designed and tested for the AVer PTC500+ PTZ camera interface for a verified, clean connection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRS-232 PTZ Control\u003c\/strong\u003e — Bi-directional RS-232 serial control loop carries PTZ commands over the same CAT cable as USB video.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e300-Foot USB 2.0 Extension\u003c\/strong\u003e — Extends USB\/UVC signal up to 300 feet over a single CAT5e or CAT6 cable.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIntegrated 5V\/12V Camera Power\u003c\/strong\u003e — Eliminates a separate power supply at the AVer PTC500+ camera mounting location.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBi-Directional Audio Transport\u003c\/strong\u003e — Carries audio channel between camera and head end.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUVC Plug-and-Play\u003c\/strong\u003e — No proprietary drivers required on Windows, macOS, or Linux hosts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSingle CAT Cable Run\u003c\/strong\u003e — USB video, RS-232 control, audio, and power in one structured cabling path.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTypical Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConference room AVer PTC500+ PTZ camera installations with codec RS-232 control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTraining room AV deployments using AVer PTC500+ for instructor tracking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBoardroom PTZ camera setups with centralized rack equipment and RS-232 camera control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGovernment space AV installations with AVer PTC500+ cameras\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMulti-purpose room builds standardizing on the AVer PTC500+ camera platform\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll-hands room camera deployments with PTZ control at distance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"overflow-x:auto\"\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel \/ SKU\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRCU2S-B1B6\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct Family\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRemoteCamUSB2S\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCompatible Camera\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAVer PTC500+\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSignal Types Carried\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUSB 2.0\/UVC video, RS-232 serial control loop, bi-directional audio, 5V\/12V camera power\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaximum Extension Distance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e300 feet (approx. 90 m) over CAT5e\/CAT6\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCamera Power Output\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5V and 12V DC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSerial Control\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBi-directional RS-232\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUnit of Measure\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEach (complete kit)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCountry of Origin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUSA \/ Taiwan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMSRP\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e$1,945.00\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs this kit specific to the AVer PTC500+?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes.
