INSTALLATION

Installation of the Media Presentation Wall Plates consists of the following:

1. Select an appropriate wall plate location (wall, furniture, rack panel).

2. Using the supplied template, cut a hole in the mounting surface.

3. Install required electrical box*.

4. Run and terminate cables. Refer to the wiring information on this page
as necessary.

5. Test cables prior to screwing down the wall plate.

6. Screw the wall plate to the electrical box.

7. Attach face plate to the mount

ing surface.
* Electrical box not included. 3-1/2" (89 mm) extra-deep electrical box or mud-ring
recommended. Some cables and connectors may necessitate additional mounting depth.

NETWORK WIRING GUIDELINES

Cresnet®. When wiring the Cresnet network, consider the following:

• Use Crestron Certified Wire.

RGB

• 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. Use the Crestron Power Calculator to help calculate how much power is
needed for the system. (www.crestron.com/calculators).

NETWORK WIRING GUIDELINES (Continued)

DM Network. When wiring the DM network, consider the following:

NOTE: DMNet wiring and Cresnet wiring are not compatible.

For DigitalMediaCAT wiring, use DM-CBL or DM-CBL-8G DigitalMedia

™

cable, as
required. For complete wiring guidelines, refer to the latest revision of the Crestron
DigitalMedia Design Guide (Doc. 4789) which is available from the Crestron Web site
(www.crestron.com/dmresources).

QuickMedia. When wiring the QuickMedia network, consider the following:

NOTE: Do not untwist pairs of wires more than 1/3-1/2” (8-12 mm) when making a

connection. The twists are critical to canceling out interference between the wires.

The aggregate cable length of a signal path originating at a QM transmitter and
terminating at a QM receiver must not exceed 450 feet (137 meters).

PREPARING AND CONNECTING WIRES

Strip the ends of the wires approximately 1/2" (13 mm). Use care to avoid nicking the
conductors. Twist together the ends of the wires that share a connection 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.

NOTE: It is not necessary to strip and tin wires for punch-down connection.

Refer to the following diagrams and instructions for specific wiring requirements.

DigitalMedia Cable Termination

Terminate the DM-CBL DigitalMedia cable to the supplied interface connectors as follows:

1. Strip 6 inches (153 mm) of the DigitalMedia Cable
to expose the three inner cables.

2. For the 'D' cable, strip the outer jacket 1 3/4 inch
(45 mm) from the end. Gather and twist the braid.

a. Trim the foil shield to 1/2 inch (13 mm) and fold it

back against the outer jacket of the cable.

b. Remove the white inner jacket and separate the

twisted pairs to expose the spline. Cut the spline so
that it is near flush with the outer jacket. Return the

twisted pairs to their original position.

c. Fold the foil shield back to its original position over the

wire pairs. Neatly wrap the twisted braid around the foil
shield. Only the silver

side of the foil shield is conductive.

NOTE: The braid should wind neatly around the foil shield. Loose braid may cause shorts
or difficulty completing assembly of the connector.

NOTE: Do not allow the twisted pairs to untwist for more than 1/2 inch (13 mm).

d. Remove the shield cover from one of the supplied RJ-45 connectors. Place the

CAT5/6 'D' cable so the area with the braid wrapped around the shield foil is
positioned within the connector's ground clamp.

e. Starting with the terminals closest to the ground clamp, insert the twisted pairs and

use a 110 tool to push them down. Refer to the above table for pin/color
assignments.

f. If the 110 tool does not do so, trim the ends flush with the sides of the terminals;

crimp the ground clamp over the cable shield, and replace the connector shield
cover.

3. For the 'M' cable, strip the ou

ter jacket 1 3/4 inch (45 mm) from the end. Place the
cable on the RJ-45 connector so the end of the outer jacket is positioned within the
connector's ground clamp.

4. Repeat steps 2e and 2f for the 'M' cable, except crimp the ground clamp over the
outer jacket to secure the cable in position.

5. For the DMNet cable, terminate the wires to the supplied 4-pin terminal block
connector as shown in the DMNet Port Wiring table above.

DigitalMedia 8G Cable Termination

Terminate the DM-CBL-8G DigitalMedia cable following the same procedures as given for
the DM-CBL 'D' cable in step 2 above, except for step 2b, since there is no inner jacket or
spline.
