The Cresnet® bus is the communications backbone for many Crestron® keypads, lighting controllers, shade motors, sensors, and other devices. Cresnet is a simple, yet flexible 4-wire network that provides bidirectional communication and 24VDC power for Cresnet devices. Cresnet allows for both homerun and daisy-chain wiring topologies, with cable lengths up to approximately 3000 feet (915 meters) per run.
Cresnet "High-Power" control cable features extra-large conductors for power and ground to support devices that draw a large amount of power over the Cresnet bus. Within a single non-plenum PVC jacket, CRESNET-HP-NP contains (1) 12AWG pair for 24VDC and Ground, and (1) 22AWG shielded twisted pair for control data.
