Lightning Strike Protector    Crestron CSP-LSP 
Remote 
Connections 
Remote connections refer to connections made from the locally connected 
CSP-LSP to Cresnet devices connected by wire runs exceeding 500 feet or 
wire runs situated outdoors, including wire runs underground. Cresnet 
devices at these distant locations are referred to as remote Cresnet devices. A 
CSP-LSP can be connected at a remote location to provide additional 
protection to a unit or a series of remote Cresnet devices.
