Designed exclusively for Cisco Quad Camera installations, it provides a transparent, reliable link between the camera and Cisco Codec Plus, Codec EQ, Codec Pro, or SX80 codecs with no programming required. For AV integrators, the RC8-CQC-PA replaces long factory cable bundles and remote camera power supplies in conference room and boardroom deployments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBuilt on SCTLink technology, the RC8 Gen2 system places an RC8-CE camera interface module behind the Cisco Quad Camera and an RC8-HE codec\/head-end module at the equipment rack, linked by one CAT6 cable from 10 to 100 meters. The system extends power to the camera assembly, so no factory camera PSU is needed at the display end — a significant simplification when the camera is mounted far from power.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe RC8-CQC-PA configuration includes the new RC-RKPA rack shelf, which provides a custom cradle for the RC8 head-end module and its WPS-48 power supply in a single 1RU space. RC8 Gen2 adds native Cisco Control Hub integration, onboard diagnostics, and field-upgradeable firmware enhancements, giving IT teams visibility into the extension link from the same console they use to manage Cisco devices. A dual HDMI distribution amplifier on each HDMI channel supports applications that need the camera feed in more than one place.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEverything required for installation ships in the kit: both Gen2 modules, 90-degree HDMI, UTP, and DC power camera cables, head-end HDMI and UTP cables, a USB-A to RS-232 cable, camera-end mounting brackets, the WPS-48 power supply, and the RC-RKPA rack shelf. For installations that also need a concealed camera wall mount, the RC8-CQC-PA-K project pack adds the RC-CUBBY mount. Crossview and Codec EQ rack configurations are available as the RC8-CQC-F2 and RC8-CQC-F3 kits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e100-Meter Single-Cable Extension\u003c\/strong\u003e — Carries dual HDMI video, ARC\/analog audio, IP\/Ethernet control, and power over one CAT6 cable from 10m to 100m.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCisco Quad Camera Specific\u003c\/strong\u003e — Engineered as a transparent link between the Quad Camera and Cisco Codec Plus, Codec EQ, Codec Pro, or SX80.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCamera Power Included\u003c\/strong\u003e — Extends power to the camera assembly so no factory camera PSU is required at the camera location.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGen2 Cisco Control Hub Integration\u003c\/strong\u003e — Native integration adds diagnostics and monitoring through Cisco Control Hub with field-upgradeable enhancements.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e1RU Rack Mounting\u003c\/strong\u003e — Included RC-RKPA rack shelf cradles the head-end module and power supply in one rack unit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDual HDMI Distribution Amplifier\u003c\/strong\u003e — Each HDMI channel includes a dual-output DA for feeds to multiple destinations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNo Programming Required\u003c\/strong\u003e — Plug-and-play installation shortens commissioning on commercial AV projects.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComplete Cable Set\u003c\/strong\u003e — Ships with all camera-end and head-end cables, brackets, and the WPS-48 power supply.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTypical Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBoardrooms with the Cisco Quad Camera mounted away from the codec rack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLarge conference rooms requiring 10–100m camera-to-rack runs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll-hands rooms and town hall spaces on Cisco Room systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTraining rooms with centralized equipment racks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGovernment spaces standardizing on Cisco video conferencing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuditoriums where camera power outlets are impractical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"overflow-x:auto\"\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSignal Extension\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDual HDMI video, ARC\/analog audio, IP\/Ethernet control over a single CAT cable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDistance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10m to 100m over CAT6\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCamera Support\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCisco Quad Camera\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCodec Compatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCisco Codec Plus, Codec EQ, Codec Pro, SX80\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePower\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eExtends power to camera and assembly;
