Hi Tony / Rob

               
Just a suggestion for anyone whos running lots of Cat5 to
use with the Kat5 equipment in mind. I would run a figure 8 cable
(speaker
type cable) back to node 0 from each outlet .This cable would supply the
dc
voltage eg 12v  that the modules require . Otherwise those wall warts
will
take up valueble power points . Have a central power source at node
zero
,just a suggestion.

Tony has the Kat5 switcher specs been released ?
