3-Segment Cresnet Hub
Cresnet is the communications backbone for Crestron lighting modules, wall box dimmers, shade controllers, thermostats, keypads, touchpanels, and many other devices. This flexible 4-wire bus normally supports approximately 20 Cresnet devices without requiring a hub. Larger systems are easily enabled by adding the DIN-HUB. The DIN-HUB features three isolated Cresnet segments, each supporting an additional 20 devices, allowing for systems of approximately 80 devices total (including the "host" segment). More hubs may be added to allow up to a maximum potential of 252 devices.
Cresnet Power Distribution
In addition to data, Cresnet carries 24 volts DC for powering the devices connected to it. The DIN-HUB provides an easy way to manage the distribution of power for a complete Cresnet network. Each segment can be configured to receive its power from the "host" power source or from another power supply. Separate power supplies may be dedicated to each segment, or a single supply can be shared amongst multiple segments as needed. Each segment supports up to 75 watts.
