1. For DM 8G+ or HDBaseT wiring up to 330 feet (100 meters) between devices, use Crestron
DM-CBL-8G DigitalMedia 8G™ cable or generic CAT5e (or better) UTP or STP. Shielded cable and
connectors are recommended to safeguard against unpredictable environmental electrical noise that
may impact performance at resolutions above 1080p. For complete system design guidelines, refer to
the Crestron DigitalMedia Design Guide (Doc. 4546) at www.crestron.com/manuals. All wire and
cables are sold separately.
2. HDMI requires an appropriate adapter or interface cable to accommodate a DVI or DisplayPort
Multimode signal. Crestron CBL-HD-DVI interface cables are sold separately.
