Overview

The Jabra Reach 8700-101 is a single-cable BYOD extension for meeting rooms. A front-of-room box and a centre-of-room box carry audio, video and content from any USB-C laptop to a Jabra video bar, with video up to 4K60 4:4:4 and optional laptop charging. It suits boardrooms and seminar rooms in Qatar where people bring their own devices and want one connection from any seat. Request a quote.

One cable from every seat to the video bar

The Jabra Reach 8700-101 is a BYOD extension kit that carries room audio, video and content over a single cable. A front-of-room box sits near the video bar, a centre-of-room box sits at the table, and a USB-C cable from a laptop to the centre box gives that person access to the room's audio, video and display from wherever they sit.

The two boxes are linked with HDBaseT over a Cat cable, so the connection runs on one cabling path rather than several separate leads. The kit is designed for BYOD rooms built around Jabra video bars. The verified peripheral list includes PanaCast 40 VBS, PanaCast U30, PanaCast 50/55 VBS, PanaCast 50, Huddly IQ and Speak2 75.

Ports, cable lengths and 4K60 requirements

These are the specifications that matter when you plan a room:

  • Video: display resolution up to 4K60 4:4:4, with content sharing over USB-C (DP alt mode) and HDCP support.
  • Front-of-room box: 2x USB-A 2.0, 1x USB-C 2.0 for device management, 1x HDMI 2.0 output, 1x RJ45 link to the centre box and a DC power input.
  • Centre-of-room box: 1x USB-C (USB 2.0, DP alt mode and PD), 1x RJ45 link to the front box and an optional USB-C PD input rated 20V/100W for charging.
  • Cabling: Cat 6a is required for 4K60 over a 100 m run. The box includes a 1.8 m USB-C to USB-C 3.2 Gen 1 cable and a 1.2 m USB-A to USB-C cable.

Where it fits in Qatar's meeting rooms

In a ministry boardroom in Msheireb, a long table lets participants from different departments connect their laptops from any seat without moving toward the screen. In a seminar room at a university in Education City, the same kit can extend BYOD across rooms of different sizes, so the IT team works from one setup. In a meeting room in Lusail, a Doha team can call colleagues abroad through the video bar while sharing content from their own laptops.

Summer outdoor temperatures in Qatar can exceed 45°C. The operating range is 0°C to 35°C and storage is -20°C to 45°C, so the boxes belong inside the air-conditioned room with the video bar, not in an unventilated cabinet or an exposed space.

What to plan before ordering

  • Confirm your video bar model, since the kit is compatible with all Jabra video solutions.
  • Plan Cat 6a routes for any link approaching 100 m, particularly where 4K60 is required.
  • Choose a mount: wall, table, display (VESA) or grommet. Wall and table mounts take screws up to 4 mm in diameter, the VESA plate takes M3 screws and the Jabra screen mount takes M5 screws.
  • Budget for a separate USB-C power adapter if you plan to charge laptops, as it is not included.

The power input is 100-240V at 12V/2A and a regional power adapter is included. The unit carries a 2-year manufacturer warranty. SmartRooms Qatar offers a free site survey before installation, so cable routes and the centre box position are confirmed before anything is mounted. Request a quote and our team usually responds within one working day.

Questions about Reach

What is the Jabra Reach 8700-101 used for?
It is a single-cable BYOD extension for video conference rooms. Any participant can connect a USB-C laptop and access the room's audio, video and display through the video bar from any seat. It suits meeting rooms and boardrooms where several people bring their own laptops, rather than relying on one fixed room PC.
Which video bars work with it in a Lusail meeting room where staff call teams abroad?
The manufacturer states compatibility with all Jabra video solutions. The verified peripheral list includes PanaCast 40 VBS, PanaCast U30, PanaCast 50/55 VBS, PanaCast 50, Huddly IQ and Speak2 75. Before ordering for a Lusail room, confirm your exact video bar and call setup with the SmartRooms Qatar team.
What display resolution does it support and what cabling does 4K60 need?
It supports up to 4K60 at 4:4:4 with content sharing over USB-C in DP alt mode, and HDCP is supported. Cat 6a cabling is required for 4K60 over a 100 m run, so cable grade should be checked during the site survey before the routes are fixed.
Can visiting executives charge their laptops during a long meeting in a West Bay hotel boardroom?
Yes, optional charging is available. The centre-of-room box has a USB-C PD input rated 20V/100W, and charging runs over the same cable used for the connection. A standard USB-C power adapter for the laptop is not included and must be bought separately, so confirm the wattage your laptops need.
What is in the box?
The kit includes a front-of-room box and a centre-of-room box, a 1.8 m USB-C to USB-C 3.2 Gen 1 cable, a 1.2 m USB-A to USB-C cable, a magnetic cable holder and a regional power adapter. Each main unit measures 134 x 24 x 135 mm and weighs about 300 g.
How would it work in a ministry boardroom in Msheireb with a long table?
Participants at either end of the table can connect their laptops with one USB-C cable to the centre box, so no one has to move toward the screen. Concealed ports and under-table cable routing keep the table tidy, and the tamperproof design suits government spaces. A site survey can confirm the centre box position before installation.
Can one standard setup be used across seminar rooms of different sizes at a university in Education City?
Yes. The manufacturer positions the kit for all room sizes, from small rooms to large conference spaces, using the same single-cable design. An IT team in Education City can standardise on one setup across seminar rooms, which reduces the number of cable types to stock and document. Request a quote covering each room.
Is it suitable for rooms in Qatar's summer heat?
The stated operating range is 0°C to 35°C, storage is -20°C to 45°C and maximum altitude is 2000 m. Outdoor summer temperatures in Qatar can exceed 45°C, so install the boxes inside the air-conditioned meeting room with the video bar, not in an unventilated cabinet. Confirm room cooling with your facilities team.
What mounting options are available?
The kit supports wall, table, display (VESA) and grommet mounting. Wall and table mounts take screws up to 4 mm in diameter, the VESA plate takes M3 screws and the Jabra screen mount takes M5 screws. Measure the mounting surface and select screws before installation day.
Does it work with Qatar's 240 V mains supply?
The listed operating voltage is 100-240V at 12V/2A, and a regional power adapter is included in the box. The 240 V supply falls within that range. Confirm the adapter's plug type with the SmartRooms Qatar team before ordering, and remember the laptop charging adapter is sold separately.
How is it managed and secured?
Devices can be managed through Jabra Plus, the Jabra web console accessed over HTTPS, and Jabra Direct for certain configurations. Firmware is digitally signed and encrypted, and HDCP is supported for media. Ask your IT team which management tool fits your network policy before rollout.
Can a school or ministry order several room kits on an LPO?
Yes. SmartRooms Qatar accepts purchase orders, government tenders and payment by bank transfer, cheque or purchase order. Each room needs its own front-of-room and centre-of-room box, so send a room list with your video bar models. A quotation is usually issued within one working day.
