Crestron HZ2-KPCN-B – Horizon 2 Keypad with Cresnet, Custom Engraved, Black

Product Overview

The Crestron HZ2-KPCN-B is a Horizon 2 in-wall keypad with Cresnet wired communications, finished in black with custom laser engraving. It connects to a Crestron control system via Cresnet — Crestron's 4-wire proprietary control bus — and provides a permanent, hardwired control interface for lighting, AV, shading, and automation functions.

Product Description

Cresnet-based keypads are the preferred choice in installations where a dedicated 4-wire control run is available and reliable wired communication is required. The HZ2-KPCN-B ships with custom laser engraving, allowing each button to be labeled according to its programmed function, improving usability in end-user environments without requiring users to interpret generic icons.

The black finish integrates with dark interior schemes and pairs with HZ2-FP faceplates in black or brushed black finishes. As part of the Horizon 2 platform, it maintains design consistency across multi-device wall stations.
