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
Use of a Cresnet Hub/Repeater (CNXHUB) is advised whenever the number of
Cresnet devices on a network exceeds 20 or when the combined total length of
Cresnet cable exceeds 3000 feet (914 meters).
