Product Overview
The CAEN-BLOCK-CENCN-2-POE serves as an Ethernet to Cresnet® Network Bridge, strategically mounted at the base of a CAEN, CAEN-MLO, or CAENIB enclosure. This device establishes a high-speed Ethernet interface linking the enclosure with one or multiple external control systems. It incorporates Cresnet and Override connectivity to accommodate lighting control modules within the enclosure while introducing an isolated Cresnet subnet for external Cresnet keypads, thermostats, sensors, and various Cresnet devices. Additionally, it facilitates the powering of these Cresnet devices using a PoE, PoE+, or 24VDC power source.
Crestron CAEN-BLOCK-CENCN-2-POE Features:
- Enhances CAEN, CAEN-MLO, or CAENIB automation enclosures by introducing an Ethernet interface
- Optimizes Cresnet® network reliability and performance with high-speed Ethernet support
- Facilitates Cresnet data communications through Ethernet connectivity
- Establishes two isolated Cresnet subnets, one for lighting control modules and one for external devices

- Accommodates up to 20 Cresnet devices per subnet
- Supports an aggregate cable length of 1500 feet (457 m) per subnet
- Capable of being powered via PoE, PoE+, or Cresnet
- Incorporates intelligent power management for each subnet
- Features built-in network diagnostic tools for comprehensive analysis
- Allows testing of network wiring, power, and communications
- Enables detailed error analysis through software or web browser interface
- Facilitates real-time error reporting through the control system
- Enables Cresnet activity and error logging over time
