Sound Control Technologies RCU3SL-B20 – USB3 Camera Extension Kit for AVer and Poly E60

Product Overview

The Sound Control Technologies RCU3SL-B20 RemoteCamUSB3SL is a USB 3.2 Gen1 camera extension kit designed for AVer cameras and the Poly Studio E60. It extends USB 3.2 Gen1 (5 Gbps), RS-232 VISCA camera control, and camera power delivery up to 100 meters over a single CAT cable, making it a reliable solution for conference room PTZ camera placement beyond USB cable reach. The kit ships with both camera-end (CE) and head-end (HE) modules.

Product Description

The RCU3SL-B20 is part of SCT's RemoteCamUSB3SL family, which uses a single structured CAT cable to carry high-speed USB 3.2 Gen1 data, RS-232 VISCA control signaling, and USB Power Delivery (USB-PD) simultaneously. For AV integrators deploying AVer cameras or the Poly Studio E60, this means the camera can be positioned at the ideal location in the room — up to 100 meters from the host codec or computer — without compromising USB data rate, camera control, or power delivery.

Power Delivery specifications support 5V, 9V, or 12V at 3A (36W maximum), plus 15V at 2.4A — accommodating cameras with varying power requirements. A separate 5V camera power path at up to 1.2A is also available for cameras that draw power independently of the USB-PD spec. RS-232 VISCA support enables PTZ camera pan, tilt, and zoom control from the host system over the same cable run. MSRP: $2,155. Country of origin: USA/Taiwan.

Key Features

• Up to 100m USB 3.2 Gen1 Extension — Extends USB 3.2 Gen1 (5 Gbps) camera data up to 100 meters over a single CAT cable, well beyond the 5-meter native USB limit.
• RS-232 VISCA Camera Control — Carries RS-232 VISCA PTZ control signals over the same CAT cable, enabling full pan, tilt, and zoom control of compatible cameras.
• USB Power Delivery (USB-PD) — Delivers 5V/9V/12V at 3A or 15V at 2.4A (36W maximum) to power the camera over the CAT cable run.
• 5V Camera Power Path — Separate 5V at up to 1.2A power output for cameras requiring independent power.
• Specific to AVer and Poly E60 — Camera-end (CE) module cabling is configured for AVer cameras and the Poly Studio E60, ensuring correct connector and power compatibility.
• Complete CE/HE Kit — Ships with both the camera-end (CE) and head-end (HE) modules for a complete, ready-to-install extension system.

Typical Applications

• Conference room with AVer PTZ camera placed beyond USB cable reach of the codec
• Boardroom with Poly Studio E60 requiring extended USB and control cabling
• Government or commercial meeting space with structured CAT cabling infrastructure
• Training room or auditorium with AVer camera positioned at the front of the room
• Multi-purpose room where the camera location is fixed by room architecture
