Re: C-Bus / Cat5e

[Chris Hunter <cjhunter@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yep ... I was only wondering why the pink / mains rating should more
than double the price ! ?

btw, this site offers quite a few choices -

http://www.minitran.co.uk/pages/products/list.mhtml?ct=1&sc=1

with some very good brands (Belden, Nexans, etc) + some unbranded, with
an enormous price range for a variety of Cat 5e cables

which would people choose, for HA - unbranded at 30+VAT, Belden at
35+VAT or Belden at 70+VAT ???

(not wishing to be too pedantic, I've rounded the numbers !)
