Installation guide
Interface Module    Crestron TPS-6X-IMCW 
NOTE: All Crestron certified Cresnet wiring must consist of two 
twisted pairs. One twisted pair is the +24V conductor and the GND 
conductor and the other twisted pair is the Y conductor and the Z 
conductor. 
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 
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.
