Sound Control Technologies RTK-Plus – RemoteTableKit for Cisco Codec EQ and Room Bar

Product Overview

The Sound Control Technologies RTK-Plus is a conference table extension kit for the Cisco Codec EQ, Room Bar, Room Bar Pro, and Codec Plus. Using SCTLink technology, it delivers power, HDMI video, audio, USB, and Ethernet between the codec and the conference table over a single CAT cable with no configuration required. For AV integrators and IT teams deploying Cisco conference rooms, the RTK-Plus powers a Cisco Touch panel over PoE, supports up to three Cisco analog microphones, and adds a true BYOM 'Call from Laptop' mode alongside traditional conferencing.

Product Description

The RTK-Plus pairs a TX module at the table with an RX module at the codec, consolidating the HDMI, network, audio, and power runs that normally connect a Cisco room system to the conference table into one category cable. The kit is the configuration of the RemoteTableKit platform cabled for Cisco Codec EQ, Room Bar, Room Bar Pro, and Codec Plus, shipping with TRRS-to-TRRS audio cables, an HDMI cable, a UTP cable, and the WPS-12 power supply.

At the table, the TX module provides passive PoE (48VDC, 7W, Class-2, Mode B per IEEE 802.3af) for a Cisco Touch controller, bi-directional stereo line-level audio on 3.5mm TRS jacks, a 10/100 Ethernet port, and USB connectivity. The RX module adds a two-port 10/100 Layer 2 Ethernet switch at the codec end. Video runs up to 4K 25/30 4:4:4 with HDCP 2.2, and the USB 2.0 link extends BYOM peripherals between the table and the rack. Modules can be powered from either end of the link, simplifying equipment placement.

The RTK-Plus supports up to three Cisco Microphone 20 or Table-J microphones (Cisco RoomKit supports up to two), keeping analog microphone cabling short at the table. Installation is plug-and-play with all codec-specific connection cables included. Vendor design guides also pair the RTK-Plus with the RC8 Quad Camera extension for full-room single-cable architectures. For Cisco Codec Pro rooms, see the companion RTK-Pro Table Extension Kit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Cisco devices does the RTK-Plus support?
The RTK-Plus is cabled for the Cisco Codec EQ, Room Bar, Room Bar Pro, and Codec Plus.

How is the RTK-Plus different from the RTK-Pro?
Both kits use the same TX/RX modules. The RTK-Plus ships with TRRS-to-TRRS cables for Codec EQ/Room Bar/Codec Plus microphone inputs and supports Cisco Microphone 20/Table-J mics; the RTK-Pro includes RM-PRO Euroblock adaptors for the Cisco Codec Pro.

Can it power the Cisco Touch panel at the table?
Yes. The TX module supplies passive PoE per IEEE 802.3af to power a Cisco Touch controller over the table Ethernet port.

Does the kit support BYOM?
Yes. The USB 2.0 link enables a 'Call from Laptop' mode so users can host meetings from their own laptop using the room camera and microphones.

Can it be combined with camera extension kits?
Yes. Sound Control Technologies publishes design guides pairing the RTK-Plus with the RC8 Cisco Quad Camera extension for complete single-cable room architectures.

Is programming required?
No. Installation is plug-and-play with all hardware-specific codec connection cables included.
