Thanks. This has been one of my main sources in deciding what
sort of stuff I want to prewire for. Your site has cost me an
awful lot of money over the last 12 months!

This would be OK as I can't see ever wanting to move the doors. ;-)

Just really thinking in terms of the future. Cable is going to be a
very small part of the automation spend. Not too sure as to different
termination requirements for CAT-6.

Thanks for confirmation. My original spec required a 24 port panel
for each room. Increditbly flexible but very expensive.

I will have a look at that. It was actually you opinion I was
seeking when I mentioned HV and Comfort.

Yes I am sure I have seen them in labs somewhere but I couldn't find
then at any online supplier, including RS and Farnell. All the US
ones tend to be the tasteful plastic Decora style.

Thanks for the info.
