Re: Ethernet splitter

["Ewen Cameron" <ewenjc@xxxxxxx>]

I'm using two pairs to open and close roof vents via relays
controlled by Comfort.  The other two pairs are ethernet for a DDAR.
By using the splitter the wiring is kept more generic - I currently
have the relays hard wired.

Will ethernet be ok alongside the 12v for the relays?  I'm not
opening and shutting them all the time so it's probably not a problem.
