CBus wiring

["Paul Gale" <groups2@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Building work starts next week on my loft conversion and I'm still
planning on moving from X10 throughout the house to CBus. Before we get too
far down the line, I need to think about CBus wiring and where necessary,
get it installed, so:

What's the advantage of using the pink CBus cabling over standard Cat5? I
have Cat5 to many of the light switches already, just waiting to be used.
Do I need to run the CBus stuff and why?

The other existing switches that don't have Cat5 will be nearly impossible
to install new cabling to. I was thinking of using bus couplers to use the
existing switches. Can I use an existing 1.5mm T&E cable to run this
back to the CBus dimmers?

Thanks,

Paul.
