Crestron DM-CBL-ULTRA-P-SP500 – DigitalMedia Ultra Cable, Plenum, 5...
Product Overview
The Crestron DM-CBL-ULTRA-P-SP500 is a 500 ft spool of DigitalMedia Ultra plenum-rated bulk cable for use with Crestron DigitalMedia transmitters, receivers, and switchers in commercial and enterprise AV installations. It carries HD video, audio, control signals, and power over a single Cat 7a-grade cable, and is rated for in-wall and plenum air-handling space runs in compliance with NEC Article 800 CMP requirements. It is the standard cable choice for AV integrators building Crestron DM infrastructure in office buildings, educational facilities, and other commercial environments.
Product Description
DM-CBL-ULTRA-P-SP500 is a Category 7a S/FTP plenum cable with four individually shielded twisted pairs and an overall tinned copper braid shield. The blue PVC low-smoke jacket is UL Listed as Type CMP and meets cUL, IEC 61156-5, and ISO/IEC 11801 standards. It is designed for runs up to the maximum supported distance of Crestron DigitalMedia equipment. The cable’s shielding architecture minimizes crosstalk and interference, maintaining signal integrity in high-density cable environments typical of commercial AV installations. The 500 ft spool format is suited for medium-sized projects and individual long runs in multi-story buildings.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the DM-CBL-ULTRA-P-SP500 required for all Crestron DigitalMedia installations, or can standard Cat cable be used?
A: Crestron specifies DM-CBL-ULTRA cable for DigitalMedia installations to ensure signal integrity and maximum distance performance. Using non-specified cable may result in reduced distance capability or unreliable operation, and is not supported by Crestron for warranty or troubleshooting purposes.
Q: What is the maximum run length supported with DM-CBL-ULTRA-P-SP500?
A: Maximum run length depends on the specific Crestron DM transmitter and receiver endpoints in use. Refer to the documentation for each endpoint to confirm the supported maximum cable distance. DM-CBL-ULTRA is rated for the full distance specification of Crestron DigitalMedia equipment.
Q: Can this cable be used in non-plenum spaces?
A: Yes. The plenum (CMP) rating is a superset of the riser (CMR) and general-purpose (CM) ratings, so Type CMP cable is permitted in both plenum and non-plenum spaces. Using plenum-rated cable throughout a project simplifies compliance and eliminates the need to track which runs are in plenum spaces.
