DM-CBL-8G-NP
DigitalMedia 8G™ Cable, Non-Plenum
Crestron® DigitalMedia 8G™ Cable (DM-CBL-8G-NP) is a 350MHz-certified
twisted-pair cable with overall foil shield (F/UTP) that is engineered to
deliver optimum performance for use in data networking and highdefinition AV signal distribution applications. It is precision manufactured
and tested to significantly exceed the CAT5e specifications for bandwidth,
crosstalk, and interference rejection, and is qualified for use wherever
a high-quality shielded CAT5e wire is required. DigitalMedia 8G Cable
provides a complete Crestron-guaranteed wiring solution for use with
DigitalMedia 8G+® devices, and is also highly recommended for use with
Sonnex® Multiroom Audio Systems, HDBaseT®, and other CATx based
audio, video, and data distribution products.
350MHz Multimedia and Data-Grade Shielded CAT5e
For digital multimedia or Ethernet data networking, DM 8G® Cable provides
the finest shielded CAT5e on the market. Every spool is individually certified
to ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-B.2 Category 5e, and tested to 350 MHz bandwidth,
ensuring ultimate performance for demanding AV and data network
applications. Its high-quality 100% foil shield ensures very low EMI/RFI
interference, preventing video signal interruption or loss of data — even in

noisy environments. Foot markers printed on the cable’s outer jacket make
it easy to verify the exact length of each cable during installation.
DigitalMedia 8G+® HD AV Signal Distribution over One Wire
Crestron DigitalMedia™ (DM®) is the world’s most evolved system solution
for distributing uncompressed, high-definition digital video and audio
throughout a home or commercial structure. DigitalMedia 8G+ is the latest
generation of DM, providing a true one-wire transport for moving HD and
Ultra HD video, high-bitrate 7.1 audio, high-speed Ethernet, and power
over CAT5e. DigitalMedia 8G Cable is specially designed and pre-qualified
for use with DM 8G+® transmitters, receivers, and switchers. Compared to
ordinary CAT5e, DM 8G Cable affords much higher performance margin to
ensure a reliable installation every time.
HDBaseT® Recommended
HDBaseT technology is a consumer electronic connectivity technology
optimized for whole-home and commercial multimedia distribution.
HDBaseT converges uncompressed full HD digital video, audio, Ethernet,
power, and control signals through a single CAT5e cable. Crestron DM 8G
Cable is ideally designed and tested for use with HDBaseT products.

A Complete Crestron-Guaranteed Solution
Termination of DM 8G cable is accomplished using Crestron DM-8G-CONN
or DM-8G-CONN-WG shielded RJ45 type connectors. These connectors
are specially designed to maintain maximum bandwidth and provide
100% shielding against interference to ensure consistent, reliable system
performance. Quick and easy field-termination if facilitated using the
DM-8G-CRIMP or DM-8G-CRIMP-WG crimping tools.

DM-CBL-8G-NP is NEC® Type CM and CSA® Type CMR rated for installation
in walls, raceways, and some other non-plenum spaces. For actual
installation allowances and restrictions, refer to the applicable electrical
code and any other authority having jurisdiction. For plenum applications
requiring Type CMP rated cable, use DM-CBL-8G-P.
