Sound Control Technologies RTK-AM1-A – RemoteTableKit for USB-C BYOM Codecs

Product Overview

The Sound Control Technologies RTK-AM1-A is a conference table extension kit configured for codecs that use USB-C for BYOM (bring your own meeting), including HP Poly G62 and G7500 deployments documented in the vendor's design guides. Using SCTLink technology, it delivers power, HDMI video, audio, USB, and Ethernet over a single CAT cable between the equipment rack and the conference table with no programming required. For AV system designers, the RTK-AM1-A consolidates what would otherwise be multiple long cable runs into one category cable while giving meeting participants a single USB-C connection with 60W laptop charging.

Product Description

The RTK-AM1-A variant of the RemoteTableKit AM1 platform pairs an RTK-AM1 TX module at the table with an RTK-AM1 RX module at the rack or credenza. The transmitter provides a full-featured USB-C port supporting DP Alt Mode video input and 60W Power Delivery, so a presenter connects a laptop with one cable for video, audio, USB peripherals, and charging. The RX module outputs DP Alt Mode video over USB-C to the codec, making the -A kit the right choice for room systems whose BYOM input is USB-C only.

The TX module includes a four-port gigabit Layer 2 Ethernet switch with divisible VLANs and PoE/PoE+ on all four ports — two ports support PoE+ devices up to 30W (IEEE 802.3at) and the remaining ports support PoE devices up to 15.4W (IEEE 802.3af), with a 76.2W total budget for table microphones, cameras, and touch panels. Three HDMI inputs support wired content sharing up to 4K@60 4:4:4, and the unit functions as a 4x1 switch with contact-closure input selection. RS-232 terminal blocks at the RX module provide third-party control and codec integration points.

The kit ships complete for commercial installation: RC-RKPA rack shelf, RKPA-BRKT rack-to-wall L-bracket, table kit mounting brackets, both module power supplies, two locking USB-C cables, UTP cables, and Europlug connectors. A 3-year parts and labor warranty is included, extendable to 5 years with the RTK-5Y option. For Cisco Codec EQ rooms, see the RTK-AM1-C RemoteTableKit.

Key Features

• Single-Cable Table Integration — Delivers power, HDMI video, audio, USB, and Ethernet between the rack and conference table over one CAT cable using SCTLink.
• USB-C BYOM Connection — Configured for codecs whose bring-your-own-meeting input is USB-C, with DP Alt Mode video and USB data on one tabletop port.
• 60W Power Delivery — Charges presenter laptops through the same USB-C cable that carries video and USB.
• Four PoE/PoE+ Ports — Powers up to four table devices with a 76.2W total budget per IEEE 802.3at/af.
• Three HDMI Inputs with 4x1 Switching — Wired content sharing up to 4K@60 4:4:4 with HDCP 2.2 and contact-closure input selection.
• Gigabit Ethernet with VLAN Support — 10/100/1000 Layer 2 switching with divisible VLANs at both TX (4-port) and RX (3-port) modules.
• No Programming Required — Plug-and-play installation cuts commissioning time on commercial AV projects.
• Rack-Ready Kit — Includes RC-RKPA rack shelf, wall-mount L-bracket, table brackets, power supplies, and all connection cables.

Typical Applications

• Boardrooms built on HP Poly G62 or G7500 room systems
• Conference rooms requiring one-cable laptop connectivity at the table
• Commercial meeting spaces with PoE-powered microphones and touch panels
• Training rooms with multiple wired content sources
• Multi-purpose rooms where rack-to-table cabling must be minimized

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Which codecs is the RTK-AM1-A intended for?
The -A kit is configured for codecs that use USB-C for BYOM. Sound Control Technologies publishes design guides pairing the RTK-AM1 with HP Poly G62, G7500, and G9 Plus systems.

How does it differ from the RTK-AM1-B and RTK-AM1-C?
All three use the same TX/RX hardware. The -A is cabled for USB-C-only BYOM codecs, the -B adds an HDMI head-end cable for USB-C plus HDMI codecs, and the -C adds a communication cable for Cisco Codec EQ integrations.

Does installation require programming?
No. The kit is plug-and-play over a single CAT cable, so integrators and IT teams can commission rooms without control system programming.

Can it power table peripherals?
Yes. Four PoE/PoE+ ports on the TX module supply a combined 76.2W for microphones, cameras, and touch panels at the table.

What warranty is included?
A 3-year parts and labor warranty is standard, with the RTK-5Y option extending coverage to 5 years.
