Yealink CTP18 vs CTP25 vs VCH51 Pro: Meeting Room Controllers and Sharing Hubs Explained

Which touch panel pairs with which MeetingBar, why the CTP25 runs on one cable, and when a room needs the VCH51 Pro wired sharing hub.

Yealink meeting rooms are controlled from a table-top touch panel: the CTP18 (8") for the MeetingBar A20 and A30 and MVC rooms, and the CTP25 (10") for the A25, A40, A50 and MeetingBoard. Both run on one PoE or Cat5e cable and give one-touch join, camera and volume control and content sharing. The VCH51 Pro is the wired HDMI and USB-C sharing hub that lets a laptop present, or run BYOD, from the table.

ARC IP Networks is a trusted Yealink supplier in Australia: genuine Yealink stock with the full manufacturer's warranty, delivered Australia-wide at competitive prices, with local pre-sales help for businesses, installers and IT providers.

Which controller comes with which bar

Why the CTP25 is one cable

The CTP25 connects to the bar's VCH port with a single Cat5e cable that carries power and data, so the table needs no power point. Its USB-C port then charges a laptop at up to 65 W and carries 4K content into the meeting, which is why most Teams Rooms deployments pick a 031 bundle.

When to add the VCH51 Pro

If the room has a CTP18 (no USB-C sharing), if guests need HDMI, or if you want a dedicated BYOD cable so a laptop can run its own Teams or Zoom meeting on the room's camera and microphones, add the VCH51 Pro. For cable-free sharing, the WPP30 pod is the alternative; see our WPP30 guide.

Common questions

Straight answers from the ARC IP Networks team. Last reviewed October 2026.

The CTP18 is an 8-inch PoE touch panel for the MeetingBar A20 and A30 and MVC rooms. The CTP25 is a 10-inch panel for the A25, A40, A50 and MeetingBoard Pro that connects with one Cat5e cable and adds 65 W USB-C laptop charging and 4K content sharing.

Bundles ending in -020 include the CTP18 (A10-020, A30-020); bundles ending in -031 include the CTP25 (A25-031, A40-031, A50-031). Bundles ending in -010 include a remote control instead.

No. One Cat5e cable from the bar's VCH port carries power and data to the CTP25. The included 65 W PD charger powers laptop charging through the panel's USB-C port.

A wired content-sharing and BYOD hub for MeetingBar A10, A25, A40, A50 and MeetingBoard Pro. It gives a laptop HDMI and USB-C connections at the table to share its screen or to use the room's camera and microphones for its own meeting.

Yes. Yealink sells CTP25 mount kits with a desk stand, wall mount and a rotatable table lock.

Not necessarily. The CTP25 shares content over its USB-C cable; the WPP30 pod shares wirelessly. Rooms that host guests often have both so presenters can choose.
