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
