Polycom 09153-001 20ft RJ45 Keyed Peripheral Link Cable for Polycom Systems

The Polycom 09153-001 is an OEM 20-foot peripheral link cable used to connect Polycom video conferencing peripherals. It uses a keyed RJ45 connector — distinguished by the light blue keying tab on each plug — which prevents accidental connection to standard Ethernet ports and ensures correct peripheral-only pairing. The cable is approximately 20 feet (6 meters) long with a black jacket and gold-plated contacts on both ends.

Applications

The Polycom peripheral link cable is a proprietary interconnect used within Polycom video conferencing systems to link peripheral devices — such as cameras, microphone pods, and content modules — to the main codec unit. The keyed RJ45 connector is a deliberate design choice: it physically prevents the cable from being plugged into a standard Ethernet switch or router, keeping peripheral and network wiring separate. This cable is compatible with a range of Polycom room systems including the HDX and VSX series, where peripheral link ports are a standard feature of the codec hardware. Replacement and spare cables of this type are commonly needed in conference room installations where cable runs are long, connectors see frequent connect/disconnect cycles, or original cables have been lost.
