It extends USB 2.0\/UVC video, bi-directional audio, RS-232 PTZ control, and 5V\/12V camera power up to 300 feet. The EA8 cable kit is matched to supported AVer camera interfaces — the A8 designation indicates inclusion of the RS-232 control loop. Contact Creation Networks for the specific AVer models supported. This kit suits conference rooms, boardrooms, and commercial spaces using AVer PTZ cameras with RS-232 camera control.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe RCU2S-EA8 extends all required signals for AVer PTZ camera installations over a single CAT5e or CAT6 cable run up to 300 feet. The Head End (HE) connects to the codec or host and RS-232 control output; the Camera End (CE) connects to the AVer camera via the EA8 cable kit. The RS-232 control loop is bidirectional, enabling PTZ control commands from the codec or control system and returning feedback where supported.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePower delivery supports 5V and 12V DC at the camera end, eliminating a separate local power supply. The bi-directional audio channel carries microphone or intercom signals. UVC compliance ensures the AVer camera appears as a standard USB video device on any USB 2.0 host without proprietary drivers. The single-cable approach replaces separate USB, serial, and power cable runs to the AVer camera location. 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 PTZ Control for AVer Cameras\u003c\/strong\u003e — Bi-directional RS-232 serial control loop alongside USB video and power over a single CAT cable.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAVer Camera Compatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e — EA8 cable kit matched to supported AVer USB PTZ camera interfaces.\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 at the AVer 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, audio, and power in one structured cabling run.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTypical Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConference room AVer PTZ camera installations with codec RS-232 control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBoardroom AV builds using AVer cameras with centralized RS-232 control systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMulti-purpose room deployments with AVer PTZ cameras requiring serial control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCorporate meeting spaces standardizing on AVer camera platforms with control systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTraining room AVer PTZ camera installations at extended cable distances\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGovernment space AV deployments with AVer PTZ cameras under RS-232 control\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-EA8\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 Brand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAVer\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 AVer camera models are supported by the RCU2S-EA8?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe EA8 cable kit supports specific AVer PTZ camera models.
