You may not want the PCI in there. That's because legally, the box should
only contain
cables whose sheathing is rated to 240V. With a PCI, you'll end up with a
serial cable in
there. You could make it out of cbus pink cat5 - that would do the job (can
even use the
RJ45 RS232 socket). But then you might get confused about what was cbus
cable and what was
serial cable...
I have all my cbus light switch (non-pink) cat5 going to one plastic box,
and then a
single pink cat5 goes from there into my metal enclosures with the dimmers.
The plastic
box also houses my PCI.
