The Cisco CP-8800-A-KEM Key Expansion Module is purpose-built to enhance the functionality of compatible Cisco 8800 Series IP Phones, specifically the 8851 and 8861 models. By adding a dedicated bank of programmable line and feature keys, this expansion module allows busy professionals to monitor more lines, manage speed dials, and access frequently used features without navigating multiple menus.Ideal for executive assistants, receptionists, call center agents, and other high-volume telephony users, the CP-8800-A-KEM significantly reduces the time spent managing multiple calls. The module attaches directly to the side of the host phone, maintaining a clean, unified desk footprint while dramatically increasing accessibility.
The unit features a clear, easy-to-read display that provides real-time line status and caller information at a glance. Each programmable key can be configured for lines, speed dials, BLF (Busy Lamp Field) monitoring, or other call features, making it highly adaptable to individual workflow needs.
Shipped in New condition, this module integrates seamlessly with Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) and is provisioned through the same familiar administrative interface used for the host phone. No additional licensing is required for basic key expansion functionality, simplifying deployment across enterprise environments.
WhaleyComm offers the Cisco CP-8800-A-KEM, backed by our commitment to quality enterprise IT hardware sourcing.
