Setup

Network Wiring

When wiring the network, consider the following:

• Use Crestron Certified Wire.

• Use Crestron power supplies for Crestron equipment.

• Provide sufficient power to the system.

• For DigitalMedia CAT wiring, use DM-CBL DigitalMedia cable. Up to two

DM Repeaters (model DM-DR, sold separately) may be required. Refer to

the Crestron DigitalMedia Design Guide (Doc. 4546) at

www.crestron.com/manuals

for complete wiring guidelines.

• For DigitalMedia 8G™ STP wiring, use DM-CBL-8G or DM-CBL-D cable.

Using DM-CBL-8G, the maximum cable length is 330 feet (100 meters).

Using DM-CBL-D cable, the maximum cable length is 200 feet (61 meters).

CAUTION: Insufficient power can lead to unpredictable results or damage

to the equipment. Use the Crestron Power Calculator to help calculate how

much power is needed for the system (

www.crestron.com/calculators).

NOTE: For optimum performance and ESD (electrostatic discharge)

protection, Crestron strongly recommends using DM-CBL-8G cable.

For Cresnet networks with 20 or more devices, use a Cresnet Hub/Repeater

(CNXHUB) to maintain signal quality.

For more details, refer to “Check Network Wiring” on page 66.

For general information on connecting Ethernet devices in a Crestron system, refer to

the Crestron e-Control

Reference Guide (Doc. 6052) at www.crestron.com/manuals.

For information specifically related to Ethernet connectivity using DigitalMedia

devices, refer to the Crestron IP Considerations Guide for the IT Professional (Doc.

4579) at www.crestron.com/manuals

CAT5 Wiring

Category 5 (CAT5) wiring is a twisted pair cable designed for Ethernet networks.

These networks operate at speeds of up to 100 megabits per second (Mbps) using the

100BASE-T standard. Crestron takes advantage of this specification for a variety of

audio and video applications.

When using a Crestron wiring solution, CAT5e or DM 8G cable can carry audio and

video signals up to 330 feet (100 meters) (observe distance limitations based upon

power consumption for the device in use).

For more information, refer to the Crestron CAT5 Wiring Reference Guide (Doc.
