TesiraCONNECT TC-5
Biamp TesiraCONNECT TC-5 5-Port PoE+ Conferencing Expander
- Platforms
- TAA Compliant
The Biamp TesiraCONNECT TC-5 is a 5-port Gigabit expansion device that connects Tesira DSPs, USB extenders, PoE+ amplifiers and microphones over a single cable run. Four ports deliver PoE+ at 30 W each, and it works with Tesira products without device configuration. Designed for conference rooms in Doha's offices, universities and government buildings, it removes the need for a third-party switch. Request a quote for your Qatar project.
What the TesiraCONNECT TC-5 does in a conference room
The TesiraCONNECT TC-5 is a compact 5-port Gigabit expander that brings Biamp conferencing hardware onto one connection point. Rather than running separate power and data links to every device, it carries power and media over a single category cable to endpoints such as Tesira AVB DSPs, USB extenders, PoE+ amplifiers and microphones. Because it works with Tesira products out of the box, it removes the need for a third-party switch in the room.
Port layout, power and capacity
Four of the five RJ-45 ports supply PoE+ under IEEE 802.3at Class 4, at 30 W per port, within a total PoE power budget of 120 W. The fifth port connects to a Tesira DSP or links to another TC-5 in a daisy chain. Ports run at 100 Mbps or 1 Gbps. Up to four TC-5 units can be daisy-chained, and the specification allows up to 13 supported endpoints and 150 AVB streams, so planners can size a room before ordering.
Where it fits in Qatar
- Boardroom in West Bay or Lusail: the expander sits in a credenza or above a suspended ceiling, so ceiling microphones and an amplifier can be powered from one cable run without visible switches.
- Government ministry meeting room in Doha: an AV integrator upgrading an existing Tesira audio system can add the TC-5 to provide power and media to new endpoints in the same room.
- Hybrid teaching room in Education City: USB extenders and microphones keep a session connected with colleagues abroad, while the front-panel LEDs help the IT team spot a faulty port quickly.
Installation and environmental planning
The unit measures 28 mm high, 147 mm wide and 147 mm deep, and weighs 0.7 kg, so it can be wall-mounted, placed under a table, or fitted above a ceiling or inside a credenza. Its ambient operating range is 0 to 40 °C (32 to 104 °F), with 0 to 95% non-condensing humidity and altitudes up to 2,000 m. It cools by convection, draws less than 132 W, and runs from an external universal power supply on 100 to 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz. Qatar's summer heat can push enclosed ceiling voids above 40 °C, so measure the temperature of any concealed space during the free site survey before choosing a location.
Certifications, monitoring and ordering
The TC-5 is FCC Part 15B, UL and C-UL listed, CE marked and RoHS compliant, and it is TAA compliant. Front-panel indicators show power, device status, faults and the status of each port, while rear-panel link and activity lights for each port help with cable checks. Fault reporting and device monitoring are supported in SageVue. The manufacturer warranty is five years. Two item numbers are listed, 920-00039-00001 and 920-00039-00002, so confirm the correct one with your quotation. SmartRooms Qatar delivers to all eight municipalities, provides professional installation and free site surveys, and accepts LPOs and Monaqasat tender purchases.
