Chapter 2 Cisco TelePresence System 1100 Room Recommendations
Power Requirements
Rooms with excessive noise (greater than 55 decibels (dBA) might not provide the best conference
experience.
Large rooms, high ceilings, or rooms that have a large amount of glass may experience reverberation. If
possible, reduce reverberation to a level that is below 700 milliseconds across the voice spectrum
(between 300 and 3000 Hertz).
Power Requirements
The Cisco TelePresence System 1100 requires one 20amp circuit @100V 120V (US electrical code
requires maximum 16amp on a 20amp circuit) or one 10amp circuit @ 240V. Two receptacles must be
provided for these circuits. The receptacles should be located on the wall near the intended location of
the endpoint but not directly behind the endpoint.
Note
Peripherals such as document cameras or alternate displays will require additional circuits and
receptacles. Placement will depend on the type and location of the peripheral device.
HVAC Considerations
Planning the cooling for a CTS 1100 TelePresence room is important to insure the room remains
comfortable for participants and the equipment is kept safe. As outlined in the overview section of this
document, HVAC considerations should be given from the initial phase of choosing a room. The detail
in the table below outlines the specific BTU output of a CTS 1100 when deployed as recommend and
under typical operating conditions. Typical assumes normal usage conditions such that the system is not
subject to 100 percent utilization rates and deployment following Cisco recommendations. i.e. room
located on interior, proper air circulation, walls painted with neutral colors, temperature expected 72-76
