Cable Length Equation 

L = Length of run (or chain) in feet

R = 6 Ohms (Crestron Certified Wire: 18 AWG (0.75 mm  ))

or 1.6 Ohms (Cresnet HP: 12 AWG (4 mm  ))

P = Cresnet power usage of entire run (or chain)

2

2

L < 40,000

R x P

Where:

 

Make sure the cable length value is less than the value calculated on the right side of 

the equation. For example, a Cresnet run using 18 AWG Crestron Certified Wire and 

drawing 20 watts should not have a length of run more than 333 feet (101 meters). If 

Cresnet HP is used for the same run, its length could extend to 1250 feet (381 

meters). 

NOTE:

  All Crestron certified Cresnet wiring must consist of two twisted pairs. One 

twisted pair is the 

24

 and 

G

 pair and the other twisted pair is the 

Y

 and 

Z

 pair.  

Strip and Tin Wire 

When daisy chaining Cresnet units, strip the ends of the wires carefully to avoid 

nicking the conductors. Twist together the ends of the 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. 

Add Hubs

 

Use of a Cresnet Hub/Repeater (CNXHUB) is advised whenever the number of 

Cresnet devices on a network exceeds 20 or when the combined total length of 

Cresnet cable exceeds 3000 feet (914 meters).
