Re: C-Bus / Cat5e

["David Yeend" <david.yeend@xxxxxxxxx>]

You are going to see some huge increases in the cost of Cat5e/6 over
the
next 4 to 6 weeks due to the price of copper which has gone up by 33% in
th=
e
last 4 weeks - the expectation is that it is going to carry on that
way. Disruption in the supply of Cat5e/6 is expected too. (I have no grasp
on the situation for copper cables used in other application however it
would be reasonable to assume the same.)

Low quality cable will soon be going at the higher prices so watch out if
quality is your priority - the price may not be such a good indicator
without comparisons.

Regards,

David
