CS-KIT-EQ-K9 Description
The CS-KIT-EQ-K9 is the Cisco Room Kit EQ in the First Light finish, a large-room collaboration bundle that ships as three ordered components: the CS-CODEC-EQ-K9 Codec EQ computing engine, the CS-QUADCAM2 Quad Camera and the CS-T10-TS-L Room Navigator for Table. The Quad Camera combines four CMOS sensors of up to 20MP each with machine intelligent switching, producing a single 1080p output while automatic group framing, speaker tracking and meeting zones keep the view on people inside a defined perimeter rather than passers-by outside a glass wall. Its 83-degree wide lens and three 50-degree tele-lenses cover the room without a pan-tilt mechanism. The Codec EQ drives up to three HDMI displays at 3840 x 2160 at 60 fps, accepts three HDMI and one USB-C source, and carries four PoE++ 802.3bt ports sharing a 90W budget that power and control the camera, the Room Navigator and AV over IP peripherals including up to eight Cisco IP microphones. A single USB-C cable passes the camera, microphone and speakers through to a connected laptop, and the bundle registers to Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Cisco Expressway or Webex over wired Ethernet or Wi-Fi 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax.

Product Performance
Key Features
Four sensors switch under machine intelligence instead of a motorized pan-tilt head, so group framing and speaker tracking happen with no moving optics to service in a room that runs meetings all day.
Meeting zones restrict framing to people inside a defined boundary, which keeps glass-walled and open-plan rooms from pulling corridor traffic into the shot and removes the usual reason to reposition a camera after fit-out.
The four PoE++ 802.3bt ports share a 90W budget that powers and controls the camera, the Room Navigator and AV over IP peripherals, so a room build can drop structured cable to each device instead of adding local power at every position.
Three HDMI outputs at 3840 x 2160 at 60 fps alongside three HDMI inputs and a USB-C input let one codec serve a multi-screen boardroom without an external switcher in the AV rack.
Up to eight Cisco IP microphones attach over the PoE++ ports and third-party audio systems connect over AES67 with the AV Integrator License, so the same codec covers both a standard room kit and a custom-tuned installed audio system.
Cisco ThousandEyes integration reports network-level diagnostics from the endpoint itself, which shortens the argument about whether a poor meeting was the room hardware or the transport between sites.
Application Scenarios
Installed in large conference rooms and wide workspaces where a single fixed camera bar has to cover the full seating span, with the 83-degree wide lens and three tele-lenses framing groups across the table.
Built into boardrooms running two or three front-of-room screens driven directly from the codec, with the Codec EQ wall-mounted, rack-eared or free-standing in the AV cabinet behind the display wall.
Deployed in training rooms and AV-integrated spaces where ceiling or table microphones attach over the codec Ethernet ports and the 37.4-inch camera bar mounts above or beneath the screen line.

- The only component that changes between CS-KIT-EQ-K9 and CS-KIT-EQ-C-K9 is the camera finish, CS-QUADCAM2 against CS-QUADCAM2-C; the codec and Room Navigator PIDs are identical, and the Carbon Black bundle still ships the Room Navigator in First Light, so a room specified as all-dark needs a separate plan for the controller finish.
- CS-KIT-EQ-NR-K9 removes Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth rather than any AV capability, which suits secure sites that mandate wired-only endpoints while keeping the same four-sensor camera, 90W PoE++ budget and 18W in-meeting draw.
- For deciding which SKU to order, settle the radio policy first because it is the only functional split in this group, then pick the camera finish, since sensor count, zoom range, display outputs and power figures are identical across all three bundles.
Selection Guide
1. When Room Finish Drives The Camera PID
CS-KIT-EQ-K9 puts a First Light camera bar in the room; a dark-fitted boardroom takes CS-KIT-EQ-C-K9 for the Carbon Black CS-QUADCAM2-C at the same AV capability, with the caveat that the bundled Room Navigator stays First Light in both.
2. Wired-Only Sites Take The No-Radio Bundle
Sites whose policy forbids on-board wireless move to CS-KIT-EQ-NR-K9, which drops Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth while keeping the four-sensor camera and codec intact; ordering the standard bundle into such a site leaves a radio that has to be administratively disabled instead of absent.
3. Fixed Framing Over Mechanical Pan-Tilt
CS-KIT-EQ-4K-K9 swaps the Quad Camera for the PTZ 4K Camera, trading the four-sensor fixed array for mechanical pan, tilt and longer optical reach; rooms that need to frame a presenter far from the screen justify that swap, while typical table-seated meetings do not.
4. Audio Console Access Needs The Integrator Key
The full Audio API and Audio Console, plus third-party AES67 attachment, unlock only with the AV Integrator option key, so an installed-audio design that assumed DSP-level tuning has to carry that key as its own line rather than expect it inside the bundle.
Ordering Checklist
|
Check Item |
What to Confirm |
Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
|
Quad Camera power supply |
Confirm PSU-12VDC-70W-GR= is present for the camera. |
Cisco requires this specific supply for the Quad Camera, so a missing unit leaves the camera unpowered at commissioning. |
|
PoE++ budget allocation |
Confirm the combined draw of camera, Room Navigator and any AV over IP peripherals fits inside the 90W codec budget. |
Exceeding the shared budget starves a peripheral that was assumed to be powered by the codec. |
|
CUCM device pack |
Confirm CUCM runs version 12.5 or later with the Room Kit EQ device pack before turn-up. |
An older cluster or missing device pack blocks native registration for the delivered bundle. |
|
Compliance model numbers |
Confirm the delivered components report TTC6-15, TTC8-10 and TTC5-15. |
Confirms all three bundle components are accounted for, since an incomplete bundle is hard to reconcile against a single PID. |
|
AV Integrator option key |
Confirm the key is ordered when the design needs Audio Console, the full Audio API or AES67 third-party audio. |
Advanced audio tuning is locked without it, which surfaces only during commissioning of an installed audio system. |
|
Ethernet cable lengths |
Confirm CAB-ETH or CAB-CAT5E lengths match the camera, controller and peripheral runs, using CAB-CAT5E-CMP-20M or CAB-CAT5E-CMP-30M where plenum rating is required. |
PoE++ device positions are fixed by cable reach, and a plenum space rejects non-rated cable at inspection. |
