All

I am trying to plan the installation of magnetic contacts on my
windows and doors as part of my Comfort install.

I have read that many of the cheap magnetic contacts are not great and
should be avoided. I can also understand that they are at times
exposed to the elements.

In light of this I have decided to fit Elmdene magnetic contacts that
are rated to Grade III Environmental.

I have one simple issues. The contacts that I am looking at are cabled
ie They come with 1m of cable already attached.

This gives me a problem - I don't what to have many junction boxes
around the house. So what is the correct method of joining the cable.
The house is being renovated so the cable will be sunk into the
plaster and then plastered over?

Solder and then heat shrink?

Ben
