CBUS Control Bus wiring topology

Hi All

I'm just planning the install of my new CBUS kit and can't decide on the
best topology for the control bus wiring.

Whilst it's free topology (avoiding loops), is it better to home-run all
the points (switches, PIRs etc) or to daisy chain them?

Instinct tells me to home-run them as it will be much easier to fault
find but I'm not sure about how to connect them all up at the panel.

Clipsal do supply a patch panel of sorts but they seem to be aimed at
the commercial market and as rare as hens teeth!

Would bunching the cables together in a Klippon or even Chock Block
connector work or is there a neater solution?

TIA

Regards

Neil
