Ashton Bentley, a Kramer company, has launched a new range of ABMX display mounts aimed at giving organisations a defined path off ageing Cisco MX Series video systems and onto Cisco’s current generation of meeting-room hardware.
The ABMX range is built on Ashton Bentley’s Cisco Certified Display Mount platform and is designed to support Cisco Room Bar, Room Bar Pro, Room Kit EQ and Quad Camera deployments. The company said the mounts are intended to modernise meeting spaces while reducing installation complexity, cost and deployment time.
The launch is pitched squarely at a migration problem facing many IT teams. Cisco’s older SX, MX and DX70 endpoints have reached end of life, having lost the ability to consume cloud services from June 1, 2025, with no further software updates or active technical support. Cisco’s own recommended replacements include its Desk Series, Room Bar and Room Kit EQ or Pro — the same modern devices the ABMX mounts are built to carry.
Ashton Bentley said the range is designed for a variety of room types, with configurations spanning wall-mounted installations as well as freestanding and mobile systems. The company also pointed to its broader, ongoing collaboration with Cisco, including support for Microsoft Teams Rooms deployments — a nod to the hybrid environments where Cisco hardware is frequently certified to run Microsoft’s meeting platform.
The new range builds on a certification Ashton Bentley secured in early 2025, when its display mounts were verified for use with select Cisco collaboration devices. That certification covered single and dual displays from 43 to 105 inches and compatibility with the Room Bar, Room Bar Pro, Room Kit Pro and Room Kit EQ/Quad Camera. The ABMX line packages that compatibility specifically around replacing MX Series rooms.
Ashton Bentley, which was acquired by AV manufacturer Kramer, builds integrated meeting-room systems that bundle mounts, displays and cabling into pre-engineered kits, positioning itself in the unified communications and collaboration market. Folding the brand into Kramer’s portfolio has widened its route to integrators working across large enterprise estates.
For facilities and AV teams, standardised mounting hardware is a small but practical part of a larger refresh cycle, where consistency across dozens or hundreds of rooms can cut both installation time and ongoing support overhead. Ashton Bentley said it will demonstrate the ABMX range at InfoComm 2026, where it can be seen at Cisco’s booth (C5107) and the Cisco Partner Lounge (N256).
