Introduction
This guide can help you plan and prepare a video-conferencing room before installing the Poly G7500
system. The user of this guide should have:
●Familiarity with video conferencing technology.
●Prior knowledge and experience with audio/video (AV) cable installation and management.
Installation Prerequisites
Before installers arrive onsite, install any cabling inside floors, walls, and ceilings/installation of any
ceiling/wall mounted brackets used to support Poly and non-Poly equipment. This includes displays,
projectors, microphones, speakers, projection screens, and cameras. If you’re using an installer, they can
install the system, test, and show the system working in a temporary position leaving you to then unplug
and route cables as you wish.
Room Layout Examples
This section provides information about how to set up a room for video conferencing using the Poly
G7500 systems and other Poly products.
Layout Diagrams
Use the following diagrams as examples for setting up a conference room with Poly G7500 systems. Poly
recommends that you contract an experienced contractor to ensure all the components operate as a
single cohesive system.

Monitor Options
The Poly G7500 system is available in single- or dual-monitor configurations. We recommend that you set
up the system in the dual-monitor configuration. Monitors can be touch enabled for an enhanced
experience.
If you’ve purchased a Poly video conferencing system, consider the following before the installation visit:
●Display and audio connections
●Codec placement
●Camera placement
Codec Placement
Measure your space before installation and make a plan for placing the codec. Place the codec within the
standard cable lengths to ensure that cables reach the desired equipment. Additional cables or
connectors are required if you place equipment outside of the standard cable lengths.
Cable lengths for basic setup:
●Screen –Supplied HDMI cable (2) length: 1.83 m (6 ft)
●Camera –Supplied HDCI cable length: 3 m (9.8 ft)
●Poly IP Table Microphone –Supplied shielded LAN cable length: 7.6 m (25 ft)
●LAN connection –Supplied codec network cable length: 3.6 m (12 ft)
●Power supply –Approximately 3 m (9.8 ft) supplied for the codec. (The display and other devices
associated with the system may require additional outlets.)
●Poly EagleEye Cube USB camera –Supplied with camera cable length: 2 m (6.6 ft)
Place your codec in an area that provides ventilation around the codec. Poly recommends a minimum
distance of 35 mm (1.3 inches) on each side of the codec. Covering the ventilation opening can result in
overheating and system instability.
You should also take note of the important safeguards mentioned in the Safety and Regulatory Notices
on the Poly Online Support Center.

Supplied cables and connection options are outlined in the following topics. If your chosen display doesn’t
support the supplied input, you must purchase the appropriate cables or adapters before installation. You
can find compliance information for the Restriction of certain Hazardous Substances Directive (RoHS) in
the G7500 Safety and Regulatory Notice on the Poly Online Support Center.
Audio is provided digitally through HDMI. Your display must have internal amplification and speakers;
otherwise, you need to provide external amplification.
