It's 240v rated sheath.

As for the T&E - yes . I even use it as the final 1 metre run to some
switch sockets where it was easier to join in the cavity space in the
ceiling (to pink)

[ukha_d] CBus wiring
.
Category:



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.
