Re: C-Bus / Cat5e

Thanks ... I guess the  same goes for EIB, then, because they say it can
be run alongside power cables (which might mean theirs is shielded, as
well as being so-rated ... 'must find out) ... given that EIB & C-Bus
units seeemd to be similarly priced, when I did a spot-check a while ago
(not easy, because EIB has a vast range, while that for C-Bus is quite
limited) the EIB seemed to have the advantage because it could run with
the power cable (saving on conduit & installation time & hassle)
...
