The A8 designation indicates this kit includes the RS-232 serial control loop. The BA8 variant includes a specific camera cable kit — contact Creation Networks for the exact camera models supported by this configuration. Suitable for conference rooms, boardrooms, and commercial spaces where PTZ cameras require both USB video and RS-232 control over extended CAT cable runs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe RCU2S-BA8 uses a Head End (HE) at the codec or RS-232 control source and a Camera End (CE) 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 CAT infrastructure used for USB video.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePower delivery supports 5V and 12V DC at the camera end. UVC compliance ensures the camera appears as a standard USB video device on Windows, macOS, or Linux hosts without proprietary drivers. The bi-directional audio channel supports microphone or intercom signal transport. The BA8 cable kit is matched to specific camera models — verify compatibility with Creation Networks before purchasing. 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\u003eRS-232 Serial Control Loop\u003c\/strong\u003e — Bi-directional RS-232 PTZ control over the same CAT cable as USB video and power.\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 — No separate power supply required at the camera mount location.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBi-Directional Audio\u003c\/strong\u003e — Audio channel for microphone or intercom use 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSingle CAT Cable Infrastructure\u003c\/strong\u003e — USB video, RS-232 control, audio, and power in one structured cabling run.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCommercial-Grade Construction\u003c\/strong\u003e — USA\/Taiwan manufactured for commercial AV installations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTypical Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConference room PTZ camera installations with RS-232 codec control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBoardroom AV builds with serial-controlled PTZ cameras\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMulti-purpose room deployments requiring PTZ control over extended cable runs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCorporate meeting spaces with RS-232 PTZ camera control systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTraining room PTZ camera installations at distance from the codec\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-BA8\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\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\u003eWhich cameras are compatible with the RCU2S-BA8?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe BA8 cable kit supports specific camera models.
