DigitalMedia Cable
This cable is specially engineered for DigitalMedia by Crestron. Up to two patch panels may be used on any DigitalMedia
Cable run, but they must use shielded connectors rated for CAT6a. Because the “D” video cable is shielded, it must be
terminated using shielded RJ45 connectors provided by Crestron (DM-CONN). These connectors can be terminated without
any specials tools; all that is needed is a wire cutter. Refer to Data Sheet Doc. 6767A for additional termination details.
DigitalMedia Cable is available in two versions, plenum and non-plenum:
 DM-CBL-NP-SP500
DigitalMedia Cable - (1) High bandwidth/low crosstalk shielded 4-twisted-pair,
(1) CAT5e, and (1) DMNet control cable; non-plenum, 500 ft spool
 DM-CBL-P-SP500
DigitalMedia Cable - (1) High bandwidth/low crosstalk shielded 4-twisted-pair,
(1) CAT5e, and (1) DMNet control cable; plenum-rated, 500 ft spool.
CresCAT
®
-D
Standard CAT5e provides less distance than DigitalMedia Cable, but can be terminated using standard RJ45 connectors.
Note that these signals are more susceptible to interference, because they are transmitted in unshielded cables. Care should
be taken to ensure that they are not run alongside interference-causing sources. Up to two patch panels may be used on any
CresCAT-D cable run.
 CresCAT-D-NP-SP500
(2) CAT5e plus Cresnet
®
(or DMNet™) control cable, non-plenum, supplied in a 500 ft spool
NOTE: If using third party CAT5 wiring, do NOT use low-skew CAT5 for the “D” cable.
DM-CBL-D
Use the DM-CBL-D to upgrade existing QM systems where CresCAT-QM is already in place. DM-CBL-D is also useful in
conduit where you need to pull the three DM cables separately because the diameter of a single jacket is too large.
 DM-CBL-D-NP-SP500 (non-plenum) supplied in 500 ft spools
 DM-CBL-D-P-SP500 (plenum) supplied in 500 ft spools
Fiber Optics
DigitalMedia fiber optic components use two standard SC multimode connectors
for each signal. Termination of CresFiber cable can be accomplished in under 10
minutes per connector using Crestron CRESFIBER-CONN-SC50UM connectors and
the CRESFIBER-TK termination kit.
