About the Crestron C2N-HBLOCK

Communication between the connected Cresnet devices and the control system passes through the block transparently. Because it accepts standard 4-wire Cresnet cable, Cresnet High-Power cable and RJ11 modular cables, different types of Cresnet wiring can be terminated at the same block. Diagnostic LEDs show whether network power and data are present.

Several C2N-HBLOCK units can be cascaded when more connections are needed, so a Cresnet network can grow by adding blocks. The block provides a convenient termination point for Cresnet control wiring. When replacing one, the diagnostic LEDs give a quick check that Cresnet network power and data are present at the new unit.

Questions about the Crestron C2N-HBLOCK

What is the Crestron C2N-HBLOCK?

It is a multi-type Cresnet distribution block: a parallel block where several Cresnet control cables are terminated together. It provides three connector types, for standard 4-wire Cresnet cable, Cresnet High-Power cable and RJ11 modular cables, and has diagnostic LEDs for network power and data.

Which cable types does the C2N-HBLOCK accept?

It has three connector types, covering every kind of Cresnet wiring: standard 4-wire Cresnet cable, Cresnet High-Power cable and RJ11 modular cables. This lets different Cresnet cable types be terminated at the same block.

Can more than one C2N-HBLOCK be used?

Yes. Blocks can be cascaded, so more can be added as the number of Cresnet connections grows. Each block passes communication transparently between the connected Cresnet devices and the control system.

What do the LEDs on the block show?

The diagnostic LEDs show whether Cresnet network power and data are present. They give a quick visual check that the block is receiving network power and that data is present on the Cresnet network.

Does the block affect Cresnet communications?

Crestron designed the C2N-HBLOCK so that communication between the connected Cresnet devices and the control system passes through it transparently. It works as a parallel termination point for the wiring, giving a convenient place to connect multiple Cresnet cables.

How much is the Crestron C2N-HBLOCK?

Crestron asks its dealers to give the price of the C2N-HBLOCK directly rather than publish it online. Add it to your quote list and we will send you a written quote, with delivery, and installation and programming if you need them.

Can 1Install supply, install and programme the C2N-HBLOCK?

Yes. 1Install is an authorised Crestron Elite Partner with offices in Skerries, Co. Dublin and Cork. We can supply the C2N-HBLOCK on its own, or install, set up and programme it as part of your system. Installation visits are €440 for 4 hours or €880 for a full day, plus VAT and travel.

Does the C2N-HBLOCK come with a warranty?

Yes. Everything we supply is new, genuine Crestron with Crestron's standard warranty. If the C2N-HBLOCK develops a fault, contact us and we will handle the claim with Crestron. If we installed it, our workmanship is guaranteed for the lifetime of the system.

Is the C2N-HBLOCK in stock?

We order Crestron for each quote, so availability depends on Crestron's stock at the time. We check it before we quote and put the expected delivery date on your quote, so you know where you stand before you pay.

Can I buy the C2N-HBLOCK without installation?

Yes. We supply Crestron to end users, with or without installation. Like most Crestron devices of this type, it needs setting up or programming before it works in a system, and we can quote for that too.
