The C2N-HBLOCK is a parallel distribution block for termination of multiple Cresnet cables. Three different types of connectors are provided to accommodate all types of Cresnet wiring including standard 4-wire Cresnet cable, CAT5/UTP mini-network cable, and RJ11 modular cables. Diagnostic LEDs indicate presence of network power and data. A mounting plate (included) provides for standalone surface mounting, or up to three units may be rack mounted together using the optional CNXRMAK (sold separately.) The C2N-HBLOCK is designed for transparent communications between all connected Cresnet devices and the control system. Multiple units may be cascaded for expanded connectivity.
