QuickMedia Wiring

The Crestron QuickMedia cable (sold under the name "CresCAT-QM") contains one
CAT5E cable and one Cresnet cable in Siamese jackets. Installation of any QM
device is as simple as installing CresCAT-QM wires from the output of one device to
the input of another. Installations are flexible, affordable and fast. For more
information, refer to the latest revision of the Crestron MediaManager Applications
Guide (Doc. 6244), which is available for download from the Crestron website
(www.crestron.com/manuals).

(0.84-1.27 cm) when making a connection. The twists are critical to canceling out
interference between the wires.
