On this topic, I'm still thinking about putting all my Kat5 TX modules
in one rack unit with a single PSU. Is it correct that one PSU will be more
efficient than 8 smaller units?

I could also switch the power via X10 (unreliable) or a relay/CBus etc when
then alarm is set to away or at other times when I don't need power...

Gareth - you could do the same with the TX units??? Did you end up powering
these via another Cat5 cable in the end? If so, they could all be powered
that way.

Paul.
