[. . . ] If the unit is a home-run from a Crestron system power supply network port, the Cresnet power usage of that unit is the Cresnet power usage of the entire run. The length of the run in feet and the Cresnet power usage of the run should be used in the following resistance equation to calculate the value on the right side of the equation. Resistance Equation 40, 000 R< LxP Where: R = Resistance (refer to the following table). P = Cresnet power usage of entire run (or chain). The required wire gauge should be chosen such that the resistance value is less than the value calculated in the resistance equation. Refer to the table after this paragraph. Wire Gauge Values RESISTANCE (R) 4 6 10 15 13 8. 7 WIRE GAUGE 16 18 20 22 Doubled CAT5 Tripled CAT5 NOTE: All network wiring must consist of two twisted pairs. One twisted pair is the +24V conductor and the GND conductor. The other twisted pair is the Y and Z conductors. NOTE: When daisy-chaining Cresnet units, strip the ends of the wires carefully to avoid nicking the conductors. Twist together the ends of the Operations Guide - DOC. 6345 Interface Module: TPMC-CH-IMC · 9 Interface Module Crestron TPMC-CH-IMC wires that share a pin on the network connector, and tin the twisted connection. Apply solder only to the ends of the twisted wires. Avoid tinning too far up the wires or the end becomes brittle. Insert the tinned connection into the Cresnet connector and tighten the retaining screw. Repeat the procedure for the other three conductors. NOTE: For larger networks (i. e. , greater than 28 network devices), it may become necessary to add a Cresnet Hub/Repeater (CNXHUB) to maintain signal quality throughout the network. Also, for networks with lengthy cable runs, it may be necessary to add a Hub/Repeater after only 20 devices. 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 100baseT standard. Crestron takes advantage of this specification for a variety of audio and video applications. Crestron recommends using CresCAT, CresCAT-D, or CresCAT-Q wiring solutions. The following chart shows the maximum recommended cable lengths for various signal formats. The TPMC-CH-IMC can send and receive balanced or unbalanced audio signals.
