Network Wiring
When wiring the Cresnet and Ethernet network, consider the following:
• Use Crestron Certified Wire.
• Use Crestron power supplies for Crestron equipment.
• Provide sufficient power to the system.
CAUTION: Insufficient power can lead to unpredictable results
or damage to the equipment. Please use the Crestron Power
Calculator to help calculate how much power is needed for the
system (www.crestron.com/calculators
).
Cresnet
For networks with 20 or more devices, use a Cresnet Hub/Repeater
(CNXHUB) to maintain signal quality.
For more details, refer to “Check Network Wiring” which starts on page

The CEN-RFGW-EX can also use high-speed Ethernet for
communications between the device and a control system, computer,
digital media server and other IP-based devices.
