2 Cresnet Control Cable The Cresnet bus is the communications backbone for Crestron touchpanels, keypads, expansion modules, tuners, and more. Cresnet is a simple, yet flexible 4-wire network that provides bidirectional communication and 24V power for Cresnet devices. With cable lengths up to 5000 feet, the Cresnet wiring topology allows almost limitless wiring configurations. Crestron offers Cresnet control cable in three variations. Within a single jacket, Cresnet and Cresnet-P furnish (1) pair 18 AWG for 24VDC and GND, and (1) twisted pair 22 AWG with shield for control data. Cresnet-DM is designed specifically for use with Crestron CLW-series wall box dimmers and switches, providing (1) twisted pair 22 AWG with shield for data only (no power). AVAILABLE MODELS Cresnet Control Cable (1) Shielded twisted pair plus (1) unshielded pair For Cresnet control networks Provides power, ground, and control data for Cresnet devices Cresnet-P Plenum-rated Control Cable Plenum-rated version of Cresnet Cresnet-DM Dimmer Control Cable (1) Shielded twisted pair For Cresnet control networks Provides control data only; designed especially for CLW Series devices

4 CresCATTM QM QuickMediaTM Cable The QuickMedia transport is Crestron s revolutionary technology designed to provide a costeffective, high-performance signal routing solution for distributing high-resolution computer, video, and audio signals utilizing a single CAT5 cable. CresCAT-QM cable provides an easy, low-cost single cable solution to simplify the wiring of QuickMedia-based systems. CresCAT-QM contains one low-skew CAT5e cable and one Cresnet control cable in a single siamese jacket. Wiring for QuickMedia receivers, wall plates, and FlipTop boxes requires installation of just one CresCAT-QM to each location. AVAILABLE MODELS CresCAT-QM Low-skew CAT5E plus Cresnet Control Cable (1) Low-skew CAT5e cable and (1) Cresnet cable adjoined in a parallel extruded "siamese" jacket For Crestron MediaManager and Isys i/o systems utilizing the QuickMedia transport Provides power, control, and QM-based multimedia signal distribution CresCAT-QM-P Low-skew CAT5E plus Cresnet Control Cable (Plenum) Plenum-rated version of CresCAT-QM
