When wiring the NET connectors, consider the following:
•Use Crestron Certified Wire such as CRESNET-NP or CRESNET-P. Failure to
do so may incur additional charges if support is required to identify performance
deficiencies because of using improper wire.
•Use Crestron power supplies for Crestron equipment.
•Provide sufficient power to the system.
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).
•For networks with 20 or more devices, use a Cresnet®Hub/Repeater
(CNXHUB) to maintain signal quality.
