Setup

Network Wiring

When wiring the Cresnet network, consider the following:
• Use Crestron Certified Wire.
• Use Crestron power supplies for Crestron equipment.
• Provide sufficient power to the system.
• For networks with 20 or more devices, use a Cresnet Hub/Repeater
For more details, refer to "Check Network Wiring" which starts on page

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.
Crestron recommends using CresCAT-IM (or D) wire for transmitting
video signals from the VIDEO (TO PANEL) port.
When using a Crestron wiring solution, the CresCAT-IM (or D) wire can
carry audio and video signals up to 500 feet (observe distance limitations
based upon power consumption for the device in use).
For more information, refer to the latest version of the Crestron CAT5
Wiring Reference Guide (Doc. 6137), which is available for download
from the Crestron website (www.crestron.com/manuals).

CAUTION: Insufficient power can lead to unpredictable results
or damage to the equipment. Please use the Crestron Power
Calculator to help calculate how much power is needed for the
system (www.crestron.com/calculators).
